Welcome Bear fans. 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.519 The PNC studio is here at Hallis and the Bears 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.960 Coaches Show with Head coach Man Naggie, Jeff Joniac with 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.040 you into eight o'clock tonight, later joined by Bears offensive 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.280 coordinator Mark Helfrich, coach. How you doing this evening? Going 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.040 tough to handle a loss like that for anybody, doesn't 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.960 matter who you are, when and when it happens in 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.040 the league, during the course of your career and whatnot. 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.760 But watching the tape in Deep Yale like you didn't 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.280 you inferred this at the news conference today with the media, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.240 But then having the whole day and talking with your 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.800 staff about it. What are your takeaways? What'd you come 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.759 away with when you watched it all on tape? Again, 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.440 the biggest thing that that we saw as a staff, 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.200 that I saw is it really was a tale two 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.399 halves and and so one of the things that we 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.840 discussed going into the game the night before it was 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.720 just making sure that whatever we do, um, whatever happens, 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.080 we want to be able to finish. Now, obviously that 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:32.240 didn't happen, but for us, uh, you know, for our guys, 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.760 none of it was because of lack of effort, you know. 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.880 And so that's a pretty good team that we played 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.520 over there. We get that, we understand that, and we 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.080 had them right where we wanted them, but now we 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.760 got to finish them. So fortunately for us, it's the 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.039 first week of the season. We understand it is a 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.800 very long season. So what we're gonna do is we're 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.320 gonna learn from this and we're going to make ourselves 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.600 better be because of this. And I can't tell you 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.800 what week that's going to happen in, but I promise 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.720 you it'll happen. And our guys have a great attitude, 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.000 you know, afterwards, you can see they were really frustrated, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.400 and understandably so, but they're not going it's not gonna 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.160 be one of those deals where it just puts us 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.120 down to where we can't recover. We'll recover. It is 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.520 an interesting question when you think about a veteran team 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.960 versus a young team, and this is a younger team 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.880 more than it is a veteran team. But there have 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.680 been guys that have gone this and seen this script 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.400 play out over and over again. How do you help 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:29.320 them not think, oh not again. Well, you gotta believe. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.680 And so we're building this culture here right now and 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.280 understanding that we've been prepared for this. This isn't something 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.400 where you know, the guys go into this with unrealistic expectations. 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:42.880 And if you do that as a coaching staff, and 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.720 you talk about the highs end of the loads, you're 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.200 prepared for it. And even if it would have been 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.600 a different ending to where you win that game, and 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.160 now all of a sudden, you know you have to 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.240 be able to prepare it for week two and say, hey, listen, 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.400 we're really not that great, you know, even with that win. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.720 So it is a long season. I've I've had big 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:04.000 dream to the guys, and so hopefully we can grow 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.520 from it. How much quicker did Rogers get rid of it? 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.320 I know Pro Football Focus timed that it was three 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.280 seconds in the first half plus and then it was 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.560 less than three seconds in the second half. I don't 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.400 know if you guys do look at that afterwards and 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.960 see how quickly and what can be done if you 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.840 can't get to them to at least make it a 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.000 little more difficult, to make it less than a pitching 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.600 catch type situation. Well, there he was getting the ball 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.840 out a lot quicker, a lot more three steps. They 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.840 pop some runs now and then, and then they did 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.840 some quick stuff to the flats and and so you know, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.960 for us trying to keep everything in front of you 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.160 and make good tackles and no run after the catch. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.760 In the second half, defensively, we had some big plays 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.240 that were given up, you know, to say the least 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.120 we had a seventy five yard or a fifty one 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.240 yard or a thirty two yarder, and I think around 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.960 a twenty three yarder, and they're they're big plays. They 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.600 so we were we had them where we wanted them too. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.760 We had a big third third and fourteen where they 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.600 got a first down backed up on the on the 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.000 on their own fifteen the total. That's just part of 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.320 the game. And so hopefully our guys can understand that, 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.080 and they're gonna they're gonna, they're gonna see that, and 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.480 and uh, next time we're in that situation, offensively, we're 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.920 gonna get first downs. Well, head coach Matt Nagy here 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.440 on the Bears Coach the show brought to you by 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.960 a Whipfley CPAs and consultants with you until eight o'clock tonight. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.840 Let's talk Mitch Trubisky. Let's talk first half, first series. Uh, 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.440 first couple of series were awesome. The creativity of your 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.320 play calling and what you guys put on the script 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.680 was was a lot of fun to watch, and it 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.200 seemed to invigorate you know, everybody in the building that 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.799 was a Bear fan. You can even hear Bears fans cheering, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.839 and you heard a lot of Packer fans booing in 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.480 that first half. Um, just break that down a little 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.560 bit on how all that went from Mitch and the offense. 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.080 It was good to see because you get to understand 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.760 that where we can get this thing too offensively. I 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.440 think It showed all the hard work that they put 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.520 in in training camp and to go four team plays 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.280 with a touchdown to first drive. You know. Ever, with 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.640 this offense and with those group of guys out there, 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.360 I was so happy for them. Then the next the 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.280 next series, they came out and put together a nice 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.360 long drive again and got three points. What we need 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.920 to understand is is that we have to eliminate to 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.040 three and ounce. There was there was. We had ten 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.280 total drives at that game, and of the ten possessions, 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.159 four of them were three and ounce and those are hard, 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.400 especially when your defense is playing as well as they were. Um, 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.039 you know, we can't get field goals. We need to 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:28.800 execute in the red zone, and of course you need 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.360 to get first downs on third and one at this point. Yet, 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.520 and there are so many scenarios obviously, so many, um, 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.680 third down scenarios, the amount of yards you have to 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.480 get for each third down scenario, red zone opportunities, whatnot. 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.320 Do you have some in your opinion, you have right 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.599 now bread and butter plays. Yet in the red zone? 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.919 Oh yeah, yeah we do? And and um, you know 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:56.200 there's some there's some situations that we as coaches feel 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.760 like we can be better at. And then we also 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.240 feel like execution as well. This isn't just one one 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.880 thing here um in regards to the the the red 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.400 zone plays and execution. And so we'll we'll we'll get 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.320 that fixed and uh, and the guys will understand that 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.039 we're going to do everything we possibly can to put 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:12.919 them in a good situation. And then when we do 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.000 put them in that situation, they need to make plays. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.919 You mentioned some stuff you'd like back, even if you 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.560 won the game, you'd still want stuff back, right during 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.039 the course of the game, certain situation, certain play costs, 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.640 certain moments in the game. Surely, Yeah, always. I don't 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.679 think you ever have a game where it's one hundred 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.080 percent exactly how you wanted it to go. But for us, uh, 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.240 you know, I'm really anxious to see how our guys 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.240 recover from this, and I know they will and we 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.880 we just we have such good guys and such good people, 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.000 high character guys. We're we're we're just going to be 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.159 at a point now where we got to have a 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.719 solid week of practice. We got to refocus. We can't 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.279 dwell in the past. It's it's it was a big 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.599 game for us. We didn't win it. Am I happy 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.240 about it? Absolutely not. But we're not going to dwell 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:58.599 on them. We know we got a big game coming 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.600 up at home against Seattle and that's what we're gonna 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.159 be focused on. That is the story of the National 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.479 Football League. It waits for no one. You got you 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.800 gotta jump right at it. But you do have sixty 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.320 minutes of film that you can break down and it 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.400 must excite you like you insinuated just a moment ago 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.840 how good you can be. And when the executions on, 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.800 this would be a very difficult team to beat because 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.880 that that first drive is a perfect example of that. Yeah, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.000 it's there, and the consistency of doing that is where 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.120 is what we gotta find. And what we need to 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.440 do is just make sure that we try not to 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.520 do too much within this system and then we make 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.720 it nice and clean and fast. For example, for for 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.680 Mitchell at the line of scrimmage, don't give him too 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.920 much to where it slows him down. The kids very smart, 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.000 he's very talented, and so what we can't do is 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.640 paralyze him by you know, the old paralysis by analysis. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.640 We can't do that, and that's our fault as coaches. 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.960 If we do so, we need to balance that you're 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.880 not saying that that happened last No, that didn't happen 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:58.520 last night. But we gotta we have to make sure 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.040 that in all phases, you know, and defense as well. 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.840 You know, we just let's uh, let's make sure that 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.720 we can let our guys play fast and uh again, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.360 a game like last night, just as we were unscouted, 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.160 you know, some they had some defensive looks that they 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.280 had that were un scouted as well. And that's that's 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.840 a credit to to Mike Patton in their defensive side 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.520 for for putting in some good stuff. The NFL chess 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.120 match there it is right, Yeah, The Bears Coaches Show 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.760 with head coach Matt Maggie and w bbm's Jeff Jodiac 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.600 continue first half, Bears up ten zip preman rush coming clean, 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.199 Roy Rahan had it is intercepted by mac Mac went 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:41.960 up to the twenty fifteen ten five heads touchdown Bears, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:49.520 Khalil Mack rolling in his second career picks six and 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:54.439 what a welcome to Chicago for Khalil back. Yeah, what 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.559 a night for Khalil mac h wearing Bears colors for 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.640 the first time as Welcome back to the Bears coaches 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.040 show here represented by Whipped Leasypas and Consultants with Matt 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.640 Naggy so sack, interception, forced fumble, fumber recovery, defensive touchdown 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.160 a week one. Last player to do that in a 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.200 game was Khalil Mack back in twenty sixteen against the Panthers, 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.640 and since they started tracking sacks and eighty two, he's 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:21.200 the first guy to do that in one half thoughts. Yeah, no, 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.320 well it was special. It was a special moment for 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.160 him and you could just really feel it on the 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.120 sideline how happy everybody was for him. He was completely 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.320 out of gas after that touchdown. But that just goes 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.559 to show, I think, what we have here on our 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.560 team with him and what he brings and how he 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.239 elevates everybody on that side of the ball. So we're 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.240 very fortunate and we were happy for him. He paid 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.000 forty two snaps. Were you even surprised or was that 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.080 someone in the wheelhouse of what you wanted to do 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.960 or was it going to be a field thing as 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.559 the game went on? It was a field thing as 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.880 a game went on. You know, I think that that 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.120 would probably have been a few more than what we 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.800 thought going into it. But you know, when you're playing 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.440 so well like he was, again, we had to see 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.840 where his conditioning was at, and he felt pretty good, 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.360 so that's what we went with. He's a bulldog and 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.560 he's outstanding. But maybe the most stunning play was on 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.319 the cob. He is down there right at the very end, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.720 after rushing the pastor, dropping off and then going to 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.320 get the guy. Yeah, he's uh, you know, he's just 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.240 he does things so easily when he's out there, just 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.960 the way he rushes the quarterback and then he has 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.000 great instincts and and uh, you know, there was no 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.480 chance of him not catching that interception when they threw 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.040 that screen to him. I mean he's out here at 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.400 practice every day, uh, in warm ups acting like he's 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.760 a quarterback and catching balls and doing different things. He's 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.320 an athlete. As you say, cornerback. No quarter quarterback told 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.760 me he could play corner Oh and yesterday he was 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.680 lined up across from DeVante Adams and had three jobs 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.959 and he did them all. Yeah, he disengaged from him, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.160 and he still rushed the pastor and got out to 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.480 the quarterback. He finding me to interrupt you, but so 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.640 he's playing quarterback. Yeah, and he just well, he just 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.080 he likes that funny. He's athletic, and it showed. And 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.559 so in such a big moment, they try to throw 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.280 a screen and he reacts, he reads it, he feels it, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.120 makes a catch, makes a couple of guys missing in. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:07.920 One of the most impressive parts of the whole thing 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.000 was he didn't have great ball security as he was 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.560 going in and the guy went to swipe it and 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.760 he still held onto him. That That was obviously a 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.080 huge play in the game and even a coaching point 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.720 for an all Pro. Right, that's right, yeah, tuck it away. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.440 How about the work done by your coaching staff, Brandon 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:29.480 Staley in particular and Vic Fangio of getting this guy ready. Clearly, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.160 his singular focus was getting ready for the Packers, despite 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.960 everything that was swirling around him in terms of the 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.240 trade and then getting resettled and impossible really to get 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.640 settled in one week, but he kept talking about it, 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.800 and I believe him he was. The whole focus was 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.360 getting ready for this game. It was, and both those guys, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.320 Brandon Stalely and Vic did a great job prepping him 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.040 getting him ready. I know he spent a lot of 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.320 time with Brandon, you know, in their room, going over 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.559 the xs and os and just kind of the strategy 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.520 part of it. And Brandon is a great teach and 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.920 I think he's a perfect fit with Khalil, and so 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.199 they tried to spend as much time as possible getting 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.120 ready for it, and so they obviously did a good 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.840 job and they'll just continue to do that each and 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.240 every day. Roe Quant smith Sack on his first NFL 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.840 snap a glimpse of what he's going to be for 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.640 this franchise as well. You can see the explosiveness I 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.880 believe eight snaps for him in this game. He's obviously 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.920 gonna play a heck of a lot more moving down 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.040 the road. But when a rookie does that, and what 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.680 he had to go through this offseason, is that a 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.200 great sign? Also? It is? And it is And anytime 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.840 you come in obviously you have a you have a 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.319 first play that you're in there pretty neat, and I 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.319 know he's ready. He's ready. He's really you know, at 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.080 that point now where he can start flying around and 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.280 trusting everything and just kind of getting another another week 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.920 of Vicks defense and understanding all the calls. So that 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.440 he can play fast. So we feel good with where 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.440 he's at and looking forward to his future. Roy Robinson Harris, 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.400 I mean there's a bunch of a nice plays being 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.520 made in this game too. He's a guy that's it's 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.400 young and he's still he's on the way though to becoming. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.360 He's got all that guide giving ability and size just 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.160 waiting to be tapped right. Yeah, he's a big guy now, 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.959 very tall, rangy, long, powerful and had had a real 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.640 nice move there, um, you know on Aaron and so 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.200 um you know. With him, it's just going to be 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.240 learning and understanding where he fits on this defensive line, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.040 how he can keep improving each and every day. And 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.360 he's in a great spot, so just keep playing hard. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.160 Matt Maggie our guest here on the Bears Coaches Show, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:37.320 Welcome back to UH Brought You Rather Buy Whiffley CPAs 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.439 and Consultants and proud partner of the Chicago Bears.

Miller Light 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.760 hold true. We'll get into that in just a minute. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:36.880 Go back to Mitch Trubisky's day overall. How is the 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.880 clock in his head going on? In the pocket and 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.720 outside of the pocket in your opinion? No, he's fun. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.800 He's learning in this offense how to use his feet, 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.880 where to slide, how to push up in the pocket. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.000 And I think in the first half he was really 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.320 good with that. The second half you know, there were 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.560 some times where maybe he could have you know, worked 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.040 his feet a little bit more. But that's going to 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.080 come in that that happens, that's very natural, that's not uncommon, 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.000 and so he'll continue to keep working on that. I 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.840 was very proud of him with you know how how 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.600 he came out this first game and he was in 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.480 and out of the huddle. Uh, he had a good 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.960 amount of stuff on his play. He handled a great Yeah, 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.160 he had mentioned and I know people, I brought this 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.720 up to you. Two Packers played more zone than man. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:20.400 But you adjust to that, and it wasn't a reason 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.800 for not playing at a level where they could have 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.880 made more of those you know, I suppose of those 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.000 three an ounces and so forth. So that's something you 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.120 just suggest to during the course of the game. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.600 you need to and that's what That's why the coaches 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.080 are up in the box and you get a feel 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:36.960 for where they're at. He also did some drop eat 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.000 and there too. You know where you're gonna get that 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:43.480 extra defender. And so again I'm going to continue to 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.720 go back to there. There's times where, um, you know, 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.920 they're on both sides, there's gonna be some unscouted tendencies 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.200 that there are, and so we just need to adjust. 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.960 And I think after game one we didn't do enough 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.480 to win a game situationally, offensively, we had to be 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.480 better on on third down. We had a stretch there 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.440 where we weren't converting third downs. I think there were 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.120 seven or eight in a row. But in the start 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.120 of the game and the end of the game, uh, 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.080 you know, we're so I see some growth offensively. Is 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.360 is at a time when we were in somewhat of 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.960 a four minute offense where we're able to churn out 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.760 first downs, we were converting third downs and then the 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.760 unfortunately the one that we didn't get in the red 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.920 zone was the biggest one. And so we need to 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.080 we need to get touchdowns down there and can't kick 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.000 field goals, especially against a guy like Aaron Rodgers. Did 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.720 they Packers force you to throw short a lot? Uh? 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.680 Not necessarily? No, No, we had we had some opportunities 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.760 within the plays to take shots down field, and and 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.320 so no, I don't think it was anything that they 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.200 were forcing us to do. Alan Robinson just seeing them 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.640 back out there, I meant a lot to him, Seriously, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.280 I mean, there's no way couldn't and some terrific connections 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:56.360 between him and Mitching those first two first couple of DRIs, Yeah, 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:01.080 there were, and he had a nice contested down the sideline. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.400 Mitch made a hell of a throw, put it really 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.720 where the only place they could be, and that was 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.000 a tough catch. He came down with that. And so 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.400 he's going to continue to get more and more opportunities. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.639 We know that in what we do, how we can 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.560 move them around, do different things. He has a lot 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.680 of great strengths and one of his strengths is being 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.640 in the red zone in Alan Robinson, So we got 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.040 to make sure we use that eighteen career touchdowns in 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.520 the red zone for Alan Robinson. Let's go back. I 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.439 mentioned this to you yesterday when we interviewed for the 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:37.119 Morning show, the t formation play. It clearly meant a 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.680 lot to you to do that. But plays like that 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.880 nineteen forties still could have a place in today's game. 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.200 I can remember Mark Roman when he was the offensive 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.000 coordina forty nine Ers, the year they went to the 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.840 Super Bowl, he said he kept running the Lombardi sweep. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.040 Can plays like that be stirred up and used today 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.479 with some regularity? I think there can be. And uh, 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.240 you know that that was an important play for us, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.359 you know we it was a T left formation, was 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.440 the call, and we called it popa bear left and 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:11.439 our guys were so fired up when we did the 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.760 first fifteen to hear that play, and I had a 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.439 lot of confidence in us getting at least five yards 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.040 and we ended up getting seven yards. Gott got a 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.359 good little run there, and so maybe we'll build off 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.520 of that a little bit. I'd like to see that. 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.080 And how about I didn't see it the first time. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.119 Everyone's pointing in pointing. I don't know what's going on. 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:30.920 But Charles little Junior is in a bunch set to 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.320 the right, loved it. Yeah. Well, we're going to continue 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.800 to do that that kind of stuff, and we'll mix 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.320 different things in. We don't. We want to be smart 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.840 with it. It's got to make sense. But it gives 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.480 if anything, that's going to give our offense an advantage, 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.879 we'll continue to do and our players as long as 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.560 we do it well and we uh progress with it, 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.200 then we'll just keep doing it. And you're not doing 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.280 it just for show. No, you're not going to do 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.640 stuff just to be cute. No, you're doing it. There's 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:00.600 meaning for every single play, whether it sets something later 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:05.200 or it's designed to actually situationally make something happen. Yeah, Park, 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.760 And with that it can confuse the defense. Anytime you 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.760 make the defense talk and you make them communicate just 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.479 one time. Now they got something has to happen. So 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.200
