Speaker 1: Welcome into Bears Weekly, powered by IGS Energy us Chiaicago
Speaker 1: Bears Network production.
Speaker 2: Bears Weekly is brought.
Speaker 1: To you by Advocate Healthcare, Athletico Physical Therapy, Bette Rivers.
Speaker 1: Also brought to you by cd W Connie's Pizza, Ed
Speaker 1: Miller Lyte. Here are your hosts, Jeff Chodiac aka the
Speaker 1: Maroo Bearsville and his Sidekicked Tom the Surfmaster Theyer.
Speaker 3: Headed in the week four hopefully with a brand new
Speaker 3: outlook on what has happened so far. As the verit
Speaker 3: curator for the Denver Bronckvio is welcome in everybody, Jeff
Speaker 3: Johnieck with Super Bowl Bear winner Tom Thayer. Thanks to
Speaker 3: Dan Brelli, Jordan tread Up, Kevin Foy even helping us
Speaker 3: out tonight and in the ESPN one thousand studios Jay
Speaker 3: Canto Kendrick Smith, thank you guys for helping us out.
Speaker 3: The executive producer of the Bears Radio Network is Eric Ostrowski.
Speaker 3: Coming up tonight at around six ' ten, we'll hear
Speaker 3: from Bear's defensive end to Marcus Walker had a chance
Speaker 3: to visit with him, and later in the show, the
Speaker 3: voice of the Denver Broncos Dave Logan, his head is
Speaker 3: spinning after what happened there down in Miami big time.
Speaker 3: But the Bears have their own concerns about what's happened
Speaker 3: so far, but optimism prevails in this building about what's
Speaker 3: around the corner. We're gonna hear from some Luke Getzi
Speaker 3: from the podium earlier today, how are you feeling about everything?
Speaker 4: Well, you brought up the word outlook, Jeff, and I
Speaker 4: think the word outlook it's got to start as soon
Speaker 4: as the at Kansas City game concluded. You got to
Speaker 4: figure out how to get this thing back on track.
Speaker 4: The corrections you need to be made. And then after
Speaker 4: you make the corrections by watching the video the tape
Speaker 4: with everybody you know facing criticisms or corrections, you got
Speaker 4: to take it to the practice field on Wednesday, Thursday
Speaker 4: and Friday, and then I think that's when your outlook
Speaker 4: starts because you gotta respin a positive frame of mind.
Speaker 4: You gotta believe in what you're gonna go out there
Speaker 4: and do. And then come Sunday, Man, you gotta do
Speaker 4: it full speed. You got to bring it like you
Speaker 4: haven't brought it before. And you have to have that
Speaker 4: outcome that everybody is coming to the stadium.
Speaker 3: For Offensively, the Bear still not able to score points,
Speaker 3: and that has been something that has continued for a
Speaker 3: couple of seasons now. Over the last ten games, I
Speaker 3: believe the Bears have not been able to get more
Speaker 3: than twenty points in a game. But Luke Getsei at
Speaker 3: the podium today is still thinking big and trying to
Speaker 3: avoid all that discussion about what has happened in the past.
Speaker 5: I think we're in the process of building something special,
Speaker 5: and I think that we're in the phase of its
Speaker 5: week three going in a week four, and we're going
Speaker 5: on to find a way to attack Denver in a
Speaker 5: completely different way than we did Kansas City. That's the
Speaker 5: week to week challenge that you have. There's different schemes,
Speaker 5: there's different mentalities of coordinators that you're playing against, and so,
Speaker 5: like you said, Coach Flus kind of always says, you
Speaker 5: get twenty four hours to enjoy or be sad about
Speaker 5: whatever the heck happened, then you move on. That's part
Speaker 5: of our business. It's a seventeen week process, it is
Speaker 5: not a three week process.
Speaker 3: And there is a lot of validity in that. That's
Speaker 3: how coaches and players have to compartmentalize it's one game.
Speaker 3: It's a week to week league.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that way when you're you have a series
Speaker 4: of wins and losses. But they've only had a series
Speaker 4: of losses. So you might dwell on this a little bit.
Speaker 6: Longer than just twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: It may take you into Tuesday morning when you wake
Speaker 4: up and you think, oh my gosh, what's going on here?
Speaker 4: But when you look at Matt Eberflus address the media
Speaker 4: at the podium, he's got a positive frame of mind,
Speaker 4: an upbeat attitude, And I think it's not up to
Speaker 4: the coaches to turn this thing around. It's up to
Speaker 4: the players to perform better and get this thing turned around.
Speaker 3: Well, he insists it's a partnership, but he puts a
Speaker 3: lot on the coaches to do that too.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Jeff.
Speaker 4: But they're never gonna be in a stance. They're not
Speaker 4: gonna wear spikes to the sideline. They're not gonna ask
Speaker 4: to cover a wide receiver or locate a you know,
Speaker 4: locate a open receiver downfield, or you know, play cleaner
Speaker 4: brand of football on the offensive line. So you know,
Speaker 4: it's about the players that perform and the coaches just
Speaker 4: get them ready.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you much as much tape as anybody, And I
Speaker 3: think most games and this goes for winning and losing
Speaker 3: and runaway trained like Miami last week what they did.
Speaker 3: That's a whole separate conversation. But there are half a
Speaker 3: dozen to eight plays a game. Coach keeps referring a six. Today,
Speaker 3: Luke Getzi says, you know, he feels confident because six
Speaker 3: eight plays different outcomes. There's a different storyline here today.
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that premise? Each game? Could you
Speaker 3: circle six to eight plays, maybe less than that Sometimes
Speaker 3: that could turn the tide, make things different. You build
Speaker 3: off of that success instead of not building off of
Speaker 3: that failure.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a number that you can put
Speaker 4: on in a determined amount of plays that can change
Speaker 4: the outcome. But so I'll go back to the first half.
Speaker 4: With three minutes and five seconds remaining in the first half,
Speaker 4: it was twenty one to nothing. So you and I
Speaker 4: on the broadcast, I was saying, Okay, Jeff, if they
Speaker 4: can go down there and have a two minute drill
Speaker 4: and score, get the ball to start the secon and half,
Speaker 4: maybe it can be fourteen twenty one to fourteen. So
Speaker 4: there's a moment in time. It's not six plays. Then
Speaker 4: the DJ More drop pass on the right sideline, the
Speaker 4: drop pass by Chase Claypool. You know, so they got to,
Speaker 4: you know, justin put those guys in a position to succeed.
Speaker 4: Now you have to come up and you have to
Speaker 4: make the plays according to plan.
Speaker 3: Here's Getzi explaining why he feels the offense is close.
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's I wouldn't use the word poorly executed.
Speaker 5: I would just say that the reactions weren't to matching
Speaker 5: what the opportunity presented. You know, So whether it's sustaining
Speaker 5: a block, whether it's run a correct track by the back,
Speaker 5: a correct read by the back, whether it's a right
Speaker 5: alignment by a tight end or a receiver, whether it's
Speaker 5: a right decision by the quarterback. You know, there's all facets.
Speaker 5: So that's where we have to narrow this thing down,
Speaker 5: you know, because you're going to have those plays in
Speaker 5: the game where you're going to have guys aren't going
Speaker 5: to be it's not going to play perfect. No, it's
Speaker 5: never happened in the history of ball. But when you
Speaker 5: have that many to your point, that's losing opportunities to
Speaker 5: go get those points. So if we could, if you
Speaker 5: cut those opportunities down to just one or two again,
Speaker 5: that means you're you're successful in five or six. Then
Speaker 5: now you're you're doing exactly what you just talked about
Speaker 5: and where where we want to be. So the part
Speaker 5: that we're talking about being close, that's the part that's
Speaker 5: that's exciting about and the opportunity that we have in
Speaker 5: front of us that we feel like it is right
Speaker 5: there for us to go take. We've got to go
Speaker 5: take it now.
Speaker 3: And I love that mindset of go take it, and
Speaker 3: I think that's exactly hot. That's my theme of the week.
Speaker 3: Take go take it. Whatever happens happened, I don't care.
Speaker 3: I don't want to look at schedules down the road.
Speaker 3: And it's it's just that same exercise we joke about
Speaker 3: with Wada and Sylvia all the time, you know, making
Speaker 3: those selections, what the record's going to be, because who
Speaker 3: you're playing the week you're playing them, who's available, who's not,
Speaker 3: who's hurt, who's sick, who's got a personal problem. You
Speaker 3: just got to go out there and no matter what
Speaker 3: people suggest might be coming down the road, team wise,
Speaker 3: and the team team coming off fifty point loss, go
Speaker 3: and take it, especially at home. You got to go
Speaker 3: out and take.
Speaker 4: It right, you know, until you got to be ready
Speaker 4: every single time you take the field. And so when
Speaker 4: with Luke Eetzi talked about the different types of ways
Speaker 4: that you can approve a football team performance, that's all
Speaker 4: the case, you know, right read by the running backs,
Speaker 4: sustained block by an offensive lineman, a big time catch.
Speaker 4: But somebody out there they have to go and they
Speaker 4: have to make the big play. They have to make
Speaker 4: the whether it's an interception on defense, a tackle for
Speaker 4: loss that creates a fumble, a big catch that you
Speaker 4: know by Dj Moore that he hit him in stride
Speaker 4: and he's able to take it the remainder of the
Speaker 4: yards for a touchdown. Someone has to go out there
Speaker 4: and make a big play early in this game that
Speaker 4: ignites the crowd, that gets the crowd in the game,
Speaker 4: and then it's the Bears obligation to keep the crowd
Speaker 4: in the game. Last week when they came out after
Speaker 4: a time out and they had too much they too
Speaker 4: much time on the clock and they.
Speaker 6: Had a penalty right there.
Speaker 4: We know the analytics that Doug Cleddie tells us all
Speaker 4: the time about the chances of your drive to succeed
Speaker 4: if you have a penalty on first down is limited.
Speaker 4: So in every facet from the coaching on the sideline
Speaker 4: to the players on the field, you got to go
Speaker 4: out and take what your opportunities are offering you.
Speaker 3: Penalties and sacks on first down Killers Tom Killers can't
Speaker 3: have them all right. One final cut with Luke Ketzi
Speaker 3: on how in the world did Denver give up seventy points?
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, I think it's one of those things, like
Speaker 5: you said, it probably just got away from them in
Speaker 5: the end of it, because you see in the first
Speaker 5: couple of weeks, you know how talented they really are.
Speaker 5: I mean, the two edge rushers they have are really good.
Speaker 5: They have obviously one of the best corners in the league.
Speaker 5: And I think that game probably just got away from them.
Speaker 5: And obviously Miami's you know, they're clicking on all cylinders
Speaker 5: right now too, So that part of it was just
Speaker 5: I think just just became a little bit much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure did it. Ten yards of crock for this place.
Speaker 3: We'll get into that with Dave Logan, but coming up
Speaker 3: next after this break, we'll be joined by the Marcus Walker,
Speaker 3: the Bears fiery defensive end. He'll join us here on
Speaker 3: Bears Weekly on the Bears Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Is Bears Weekly with a voice of the Bears for
Speaker 1: twenty three years, Jeff jon on the Bears Radio Network.
Speaker 3: And this segment of Bears Weekly is brought to you
Speaker 3: by IGS Energy, Jeff Joniak and Tom Fair. So, you know,
Speaker 3: we got a couple of veterans, more than a couple
Speaker 3: on the edges here with yannikin Gockway. We've got Rashid
Speaker 3: Green he's come in and DeMarcus Walker, Big Tom. I
Speaker 3: like the fire he brings, so he in a Gockway
Speaker 3: while this team has only one sack, and that certainly
Speaker 3: has to change and hopefully it will very very soon.
Speaker 3: They are getting some pressures. They these two guys have
Speaker 3: combined for nine knockdowns and hurries each. It seems like
Speaker 3: a small number. But is this the chemistry of an
Speaker 3: offensive line that we're talking about on the defensive line
Speaker 3: as well, that has to happen immature.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you need to have growth out of
Speaker 4: a guy like Dominique Robinson. Also, so you have to
Speaker 4: take guys that they've already developed a reputation that the
Speaker 4: quality pass rushers, and that's why Aniknokway is here with
Speaker 4: Chicago and he's been productive with every team that he's
Speaker 4: been on. But it's also the type of scheme that
Speaker 4: you use when you're able to trade in defensive lineman
Speaker 4: in and out. There's a certain freshness that they have
Speaker 4: to play with. But then you know the types of
Speaker 4: offenses they played so far this year, you didn't know
Speaker 4: what to expect out of Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield as
Speaker 4: a courageous guy that stands in the pocket, and.
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes is one of the best.
Speaker 4: Now you're facing Russell Wilson, who's an undersized quarterback that's
Speaker 4: getting a little older that you can attack in a
Speaker 4: lot of different ways. And that's where the scheming has
Speaker 4: to have an effect on the quarterback if you're really
Speaker 4: going to win the battle against the defensive line in
Speaker 4: this quarterback.
Speaker 3: One of the first things I do, and we'll get
Speaker 3: more involved in the discussion about the game itself and
Speaker 3: the game hands up on Russell, especially when he's in
Speaker 3: that hands up, maybe get a tipball. Not the tallest
Speaker 3: quarterback over time. And this conversely, despite giving up seventy points,
Speaker 3: this is a Denver team, their defensive line, they get
Speaker 3: their hands up, get a lot of hands on bat
Speaker 3: at balls. All right, let's let oh go ahead, go
Speaker 3: ahead ahead.
Speaker 4: No, I'm just going to say the snap count. It's
Speaker 4: kind of different, you know, because if it's a supportive
Speaker 4: crowd at home and Russell Wilson is using a silent count,
Speaker 4: you have to be really.
Speaker 6: Disciplined about following the football. Just like at home.
Speaker 4: You better get the advantage because you're going to be
Speaker 4: able to hear the snap count out of justin. So
Speaker 4: I think there's a little bit of different difference you're
Speaker 4: working with on the line of scrimmage for each team.
Speaker 3: All right, here is as promised. I get to know
Speaker 3: you if you will with Bears defensive end DeMarcus Walker.
Speaker 7: How do you describe yourself as a player?
Speaker 8: Different?
Speaker 2: Why? Just?
Speaker 8: I mean just from It's not just now, since I
Speaker 8: was a kid.
Speaker 9: I mean, I've always just and like the one that
Speaker 9: always was just if everyone went right, I went left one.
Speaker 9: You know, you know what I'm saying. Everybody pick one thing.
Speaker 9: I look at the other option just to see it.
Speaker 9: And honestly, I get that from both my parents, my
Speaker 9: mom and my dad, you know, they both have their
Speaker 9: type of personalities that to where you know they're different
Speaker 9: than I know for sure that rubed off on me.
Speaker 8: It's just I just like, I just like being different.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 9: Sometimes I get in my own little world, have my
Speaker 9: own little bubble moments. So you know, that's just that's
Speaker 9: just me.
Speaker 3: Well, you can't miss you as soon as you got here,
Speaker 3: right Like. I have stories of guys over the course
Speaker 3: of my career, rookie, mini camp or better. I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I mean Mike Brown. I don't know
Speaker 3: if you remember, Mike Brown was a bad man at safety.
Speaker 3: He was out there lining everybody up as a rookie,
Speaker 3: yelling at guys with the high pitched voice. I turned around,
Speaker 3: who's that yelling? And it's the Marcus Market. You make
Speaker 3: some noise right there, don't you.
Speaker 7: Is that part of just.
Speaker 3: Who you are as a player, And I mean maybe
Speaker 3: as a guy period, you like to like to be.
Speaker 8: Loud and proud.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I have my moments when I'm quiet too,
Speaker 9: But then when I'm when I'm in a comfortable element
Speaker 9: and everyone around me like.
Speaker 8: Embraced me and just like hey just continued me.
Speaker 9: And you they're not going to have like those outbursts,
Speaker 9: you know those you know, those moments where I'm just
Speaker 9: generating energy just to you know, because I love what
Speaker 9: I do.
Speaker 8: I love my job.
Speaker 9: I really love my job, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 9: and to where it's a blessing to be able to.
Speaker 8: Put this cleekson and be able to you know, play football.
Speaker 9: You know something I was on as a kid, you know,
Speaker 9: before football games on Sundays and after football games with
Speaker 9: Sundays going out to the field redoing you know, reenacting
Speaker 9: Devin Hester.
Speaker 8: You know, you know what I'm saying. So honestly, you
Speaker 8: know that's just me.
Speaker 9: You know, like I really love what I do, and
Speaker 9: when I every times I get out there, you know,
Speaker 9: I'm lead to be known.
Speaker 3: You know, there are guys that I talked to over
Speaker 3: the years. Some guys used to go out there.
Speaker 7: They play catch with themselves football.
Speaker 3: I remember doing it as a kid that wasn't blessed
Speaker 3: enough to be big enough or fast enough or good
Speaker 3: enough to play. But you know, you run out there
Speaker 3: after watching a game and you know where you grew up.
Speaker 3: I mean, Florida's you know, unbelievable, right, Yeah, you're a
Speaker 3: Florida kid.
Speaker 6: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I was just down there by the way with
Speaker 3: Devin and watching him coach his youth football team.
Speaker 8: His kids are on the team, and.
Speaker 7: I was shocked, culture shocked for.
Speaker 3: Me, what how serious and what comes out of the
Speaker 3: miles of coaches, parents and the kids at.
Speaker 7: Nine, ten, eleven years old.
Speaker 3: But you know, I was told to me flat out
Speaker 3: simply Devin said, football is life in Florida.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, I mean just just since youth.
Speaker 9: You know, I could tell you as a kid, like
Speaker 9: some of them, get home, I wish my mom was here,
Speaker 9: come home, Push off my homework, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 9: run outside, you know what I'm saying, taking off my shoes, everybody,
Speaker 9: all the kids got their shoes off and playing football
Speaker 9: in the socks, dirt nose.
Speaker 8: You know, continuely just to for him.
Speaker 9: Man as my mom gets so hot, you knowing my laundry. So, man,
Speaker 9: I mean, football down there is definitely a passion that
Speaker 9: in track. You know, it's everyone so fast, and you
Speaker 9: know that's definitely you know, I'm thankful to be from
Speaker 9: that great state.
Speaker 7: You had a great year last year.
Speaker 3: But I gotta go back to Denver because Vic Vangil
Speaker 3: kind of unlocked you a little bit, don't you agree,
Speaker 3: Like you you reached it was.
Speaker 7: A little bit more comfortable, yes, yeah, yeah, And why
Speaker 7: was that?
Speaker 3: I mean, you're a guy that's known as you know,
Speaker 3: you can rush the passion, certainly, but from.
Speaker 7: Every spot on the line. But what what did Vic
Speaker 7: unlocking you?
Speaker 9: I mean, so at Florida State my last two years,
Speaker 9: we were more of a red defense, and we played
Speaker 9: a little bit multiple multiple, and that's vixed the same
Speaker 9: exact philosophy. So from a football terminology standpoint, that was
Speaker 9: definitely easy to assimilate too. And Vegas the deeps of
Speaker 9: Maximond when he came over from you guys, I head
Speaker 9: up Eddie Goldman, like, you know, tell me about some guys,
Speaker 9: and he just had nothing but good things to say.
Speaker 9: So I mean, just having someone that you know, that
Speaker 9: loves ball, the same with how I love my job.
Speaker 9: I love ball, you know, having someone that just is
Speaker 9: really to you know, you know, I have no mercy on.
Speaker 8: The offense, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: I mean, when me and me and the coach on
Speaker 9: the same page, I mean, that's just we just turned
Speaker 9: into flulition.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 7: So you love football.
Speaker 3: But I if my story is right, you didn't get
Speaker 3: to play football right away and at the age of.
Speaker 8: Fifteen, how did you get that story?
Speaker 3: I do my homework now, your dad, Dale, Yeah, whoa
Speaker 3: tell me about all this?
Speaker 7: Because the football coach had to convince your dad.
Speaker 8: Dale Walker.
Speaker 9: So I mean the story, the backstory is when I
Speaker 9: was in middle school, Landmark Middle, I wound up.
Speaker 8: I was a three sport athlete, football, basketball, and track.
Speaker 9: Started on all of them, won you know, MVPs on
Speaker 9: track and basketball Most Improvement back I mean track and football,
Speaker 9: most Improvement basketball, and my dad he was ripping a
Speaker 9: run and take me up from practicing school all year long.
Speaker 9: Right after football, we got basketball season, right after the
Speaker 9: basketball season, got track season. So my dad was really
Speaker 9: you know, I think he was a little bit of
Speaker 9: time too. But at the same time, you know, he
Speaker 9: wanted me to take a break my ninth grade year
Speaker 9: because when I was coming in, I was going to
Speaker 9: play varsity. I wasn't playing jv. Even the varsity coach
Speaker 9: was like, you're not touching that. My dad was like, well,
Speaker 9: you're not touching him. He wanted my body to rest
Speaker 9: and give me some little bit more time developed. And
Speaker 9: then now within that spring of my freshman year, going
Speaker 9: into my sophomore year, he gave me the green light
Speaker 9: to go back, go back and play football. But I
Speaker 9: got in trouble that year when I didn't played football.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: I got a lot of trouble, you know, because I
Speaker 9: was just bored. You had too much time on my hands.
Speaker 9: And once you know, I was back, you know, putting
Speaker 9: on my leaks. You know, I was about focused.
Speaker 7: Dad wanted you to be a doctor.
Speaker 8: I don't know what a baseball player or something. I
Speaker 8: don't know.
Speaker 7: You know, you want to mentor kids?
Speaker 8: Yeah, right, why I think.
Speaker 9: After alls had been done, I would love to you know,
Speaker 9: be uh, be a very wealthy person and go back
Speaker 9: and coach uh uh junior high middle school because I
Speaker 9: think that's the that's the honey hole of all of us.
Speaker 9: I think we were really you know, especially as boys
Speaker 9: were men. But before we were boys, middle school was
Speaker 9: that era or like we started molding, molding started finale
Speaker 9: or identity. Different influencers start to you know, really influence us.
Speaker 9: And I think middle school is the pivotal age that
Speaker 9: to where if you get a good hand start, if
Speaker 9: you're plan a good seat in those kids from the
Speaker 9: jump then to where you know, no matter what situation,
Speaker 9: because they're gonna face that sometimes adversity growing up, you know,
Speaker 9: from their teens, their twenties, thirties, forties, you're gonna face that.
Speaker 9: So if you have those good heart lessons in the beginning,
Speaker 9: I believe those kids would definitely you know, have a
Speaker 9: better advantage.
Speaker 3: All about leadership, right, mentorship leadership go hand in hand.
Speaker 3: Do you feel you have natural leadership qualities and instincts?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean for a little bit.
Speaker 9: I mean for like a lot of my life, I
Speaker 9: was always told that and then you know, I guess
Speaker 9: I kind of always sometimes I put my set myself
Speaker 9: in the back seat to just learn from others. You know,
Speaker 9: I don't like this step on other people toes and
Speaker 9: sometimes I can get to in a moment to where
Speaker 9: I can do too much. So I have the personalities
Speaker 9: and sometimes the resiliency to take a step back and
Speaker 9: you know, absorb or read the room. And then I
Speaker 9: mean just naturally, like you know, when the other guys
Speaker 9: who people call either start looking at me for energy
Speaker 9: and I'm just like or to make a player and
Speaker 9: just all right, well I really am. So then I
Speaker 9: have to embrace that because I mean that's what comes
Speaker 9: to natural to me.
Speaker 3: A we're down the Broncos. When a team loses by fifty,
Speaker 3: is it a natural instinct to think, oh, come on, man,
Speaker 3: this is gonna be a layup. But then you put
Speaker 3: on the tape and you're seeing where some of the
Speaker 3: things went south.
Speaker 7: I mean, how does this team go into.
Speaker 3: This game not worried about what happened last week to
Speaker 3: themselves or the appoint.
Speaker 9: The Chicago Bears has to go on there with the
Speaker 9: nasi attitude because we didn't give a whoop about fifty.
Speaker 9: But we're both going three yeah, and to where at
Speaker 9: the end of the day, it's going to go down
Speaker 9: to who wanted more. Who's going to be the best person,
Speaker 9: the most nastiest defense, and the most selfless offense to
Speaker 9: be able to put up points. And you know, we
Speaker 9: have to play great football in all three phases. This
Speaker 9: is not a likely you know, a test. And you
Speaker 9: know I keep hearing that to where oh it might
Speaker 9: be down or they might be pissed, we're pissed, and
Speaker 9: to where you know, it's all about attitude.
Speaker 8: This Sunday.
Speaker 3: Well, you got that attitude and an attitude that has
Speaker 3: been prevalent throughout this organization for one hundred and four years.
Speaker 3: So you're walking through these halls and I know we
Speaker 3: probably talked to you about this during free agency, but
Speaker 3: when you see the Hall of Famers, the thirty number,
Speaker 3: I even stop in the hall way and see, you.
Speaker 8: Know, like to watch it.
Speaker 7: That does that seep into your soul a little.
Speaker 9: Bit, especially that player when you see everybody you know
Speaker 9: from all left to my right.
Speaker 8: I never there.
Speaker 9: I don't think there's having one time where I just
Speaker 9: walk straight down the hall in just middle left to
Speaker 9: the locker room. I mean, all a glimpse right, look
Speaker 9: left to see you know those great numbers, uh from
Speaker 9: I mean Papa Bet you know as the hellas to
Speaker 9: you know, Singletary, black guess buckets, you know.
Speaker 7: Ear Lacker.
Speaker 8: We can go on that.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, So it's an opportunity, you know what
Speaker 9: I'm saying, It's opportunity. And then obviously you know, gotta
Speaker 9: you gotta you know, you gotta get there. And you know,
Speaker 9: everyone talks about how this city is and how this
Speaker 9: ordnation is when we win, when we went big Yeah,
Speaker 9: Now you gotta just.
Speaker 8: Make it happen.
Speaker 3: And certainly you know what it's like because you're still
Speaker 3: feeling it as one of the eighty five Bears. Yep,
Speaker 3: they embrace and never forget. And that's where some of
Speaker 3: these guys heads are at Espercially the veterans. I run
Speaker 3: into this conversation all the time because this place is
Speaker 3: like a museum up here at Hallasall and they visualize
Speaker 3: it and see it and would project themselves in it
Speaker 3: every day.
Speaker 4: But you know one thing about this team this year,
Speaker 4: One of my biggest disappointments so far was one DeMarcus
Speaker 4: Walker got hurt in training camp, and I think he
Speaker 4: had a pulled cap or something, because he kind of
Speaker 4: brings an energy a lot like Steve McMichael did, where
Speaker 4: he's a little bit of a antagonistic voice out there
Speaker 4: and he's talking a little friendly trash to the offense
Speaker 4: as he's walking through stretching and stuff.
Speaker 6: And I really felt this is something this team needed.
Speaker 4: I like to hear DeMarcus Walker for the interview that
Speaker 4: you did with them. He tells you it gives everybody
Speaker 4: an opportunity.
Speaker 6: To learn a little bit more about him. But I
Speaker 6: like that instigation.
Speaker 4: I like that way to get everybody repped up, because
Speaker 4: he's not revving up himself, he's revving up everybody else.
Speaker 4: And I think that's important guy that you have to
Speaker 4: have on a team.
Speaker 6: So I wish success for him.
Speaker 3: All Right, we're gonna take a break. Coming up next
Speaker 3: Dave Logan, the voice of the Denver Broncos. We'll join
Speaker 3: him and preview the Bears and Broncos Sunday right here
Speaker 3: on ESPN one thousand and The Bears Radio.
Speaker 1: Network is Bears Weekly with a voice of the Bears
Speaker 1: for twenty three years, Jeff Joni on the Bears Radio Network.
Speaker 3: Second Bears Weekly is sponsored by CDW People to Get
Speaker 3: It with Tom Bayer, Jeff Joniyak, get you ready for Bears, Broncos,
Speaker 3: and the longtime voice of the Broncos Dave Logan kind
Speaker 3: enough to join us here tonight on a night he
Speaker 3: has a high school football game. Looking to go six
Speaker 3: and a zero. Yeah, that's right. He coaches high school
Speaker 3: football just like our Jason McKee does at Mundoline Carmel
Speaker 3: here in the Chicago area. It's cool that you coach
Speaker 3: high school football. You guys are making a huge impact
Speaker 3: as ex players.
Speaker 10: No, I appreciate that, Jeff, and great to catch up
Speaker 10: with you and Tom. This is this is my thirty
Speaker 10: first year as a head coach in high school, and
Speaker 10: you know, I've really enjoyed it for sure.
Speaker 4: Hey, Dave, thirty first year as a head coach. Have
Speaker 4: you ever given up seventy points or scored seventy points?
Speaker 2: Oh? Lord, the answer to that is no.
Speaker 10: You know, I've listened almost a decade as a player
Speaker 10: in the NFL, and now this is thirty four years
Speaker 10: calling Broncos games. So that's what forty four years. I've
Speaker 10: never seen a game. Not only have I not been
Speaker 10: involved in a game as a player or a broadcaster,
Speaker 10: I've never even seen a game NFL game like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was it was.
Speaker 10: It was almost to the point of absurdity where you
Speaker 10: you couldn't really figure out how to describe accurately for
Speaker 10: people listening what you were seeing. I mean, they the
Speaker 10: Dolphins averaged ten point two yards per snap every single
Speaker 10: snap in that game.
Speaker 4: So, so, Dave, what's your Wednesday morning message to the.
Speaker 10: Team in terms of the Broncos.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, if you're if you're in a coaching position,
Speaker 4: not at high school.
Speaker 11: But you're at a Bronco level. As you know.
Speaker 4: I've heard a message delivered by Ditko when we've gotten
Speaker 4: a butt kicking.
Speaker 11: But what would your message be to this group of guys.
Speaker 10: Well, I think if you're talking about Wednesday, that'd be
Speaker 10: the first time you've had a chance to see him
Speaker 10: more than likely since the game. And you know, when
Speaker 10: you when you play like that, I'm I'm a believer
Speaker 10: that you have to own it.
Speaker 2: I mean you can't.
Speaker 10: You know, there's some coaches that I think when a
Speaker 10: game sort of gets away from them and it's early
Speaker 10: in the season, they might not even.
Speaker 8: Look at the tape.
Speaker 10: Right we would look at the tape for sure, and
Speaker 10: I think you have to be accountable to each guy
Speaker 10: in that room, and that would be that would be
Speaker 10: part of my message.
Speaker 2: I mean, when we watch this game, are you are
Speaker 2: you playing.
Speaker 10: To the level that we need to play here in
Speaker 10: terms of being a playoff because they thought going to
Speaker 10: the season their playoff caliber team. And I would challenge
Speaker 10: every single player and coach and myself, did you do
Speaker 10: everything possible before the game? And then in the game
Speaker 10: you grade yourself and you tell yourself you don't have
Speaker 10: to tell me, look at the guy in the mirror
Speaker 10: and say, was this the absolute best effort I could
Speaker 10: give in that game? And the answer for many of
Speaker 10: us in this room is no. So it's done. We
Speaker 10: got to move on, and we have an opportunity to
Speaker 10: do something about that in our preparation this week.
Speaker 2: And getting ready to go to Chicago on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Dave Logan, our guest here on Bears Weekly, a longtime
Speaker 3: voice the Denver Broncos and a ten year NFL veteran
Speaker 3: player also with the Cleveland Browns, made his name as
Speaker 3: a wide receiver there for that team, that cardiac kid team.
Speaker 3: Will talk about that in a second, but Tom and
Speaker 3: I have had some tough games over our twenty seven
Speaker 3: years together, and you know Sunday was. But there was
Speaker 3: a time under Mark Trestsman the Bears lost back to
Speaker 3: back games to the Patriots and Packers and it was
Speaker 3: just a non competitive situation, so calling the game was hard.
Speaker 3: I had a mutual friend of the business, Lenn Casper,
Speaker 3: the voice of the White Sox, called me up, said hey,
Speaker 3: you got to reset. Remember your job is to call plays.
Speaker 3: You're also an ex NFL player who's a high school,
Speaker 3: prominent high school football coach in this country, let alone
Speaker 3: the Denver area. How did you call that game? And
Speaker 3: how hard was it?
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, Jeff, it's I mean, every game, and
Speaker 10: you've done this a long time too.
Speaker 2: Every game, to me is its own unique challenge, and
Speaker 2: you try to.
Speaker 10: I'm always cognizant of trying to be accurate in the
Speaker 10: way I describe what I see, and also you've got
Speaker 10: to be honest in what you described. Yes, you're the
Speaker 10: hometown announcer, and yes you have Bronco fans listening, but
Speaker 10: I'm always trying to be honest in terms of the
Speaker 10: assessment of the team. And so, you know, they kick
Speaker 10: it off, Miami goes seventy five yards and three plays
Speaker 10: seven to nothing. Broncos go three and out, they punted away,
Speaker 10: Miami goes whatever seven seventy three and eight that it's
Speaker 10: fourteen nothing. But then the Broncos put together a drive
Speaker 10: and they go down a score as fourteen seven. So
Speaker 10: the optimistic part of me says, okay, you know what
Speaker 10: they're going to get back in this game. And so
Speaker 10: Miami scores again. I mean, Denver stopped Miami one time.
Speaker 10: Miami went forward on their own thirty three. The minus
Speaker 10: thirty three, fourth and one didn't get it. Broncos took over,
Speaker 10: and at that point they're down twenty one to ten.
Speaker 10: And so I said, here's an opportunity right here for
Speaker 10: the Broncos to get back in this game.
Speaker 2: You take this. You got a short field thirty three yards,
Speaker 2: you go down to score.
Speaker 10: It's twenty one seventeen, and no, you haven't stopped him yet,
Speaker 10: but you're down twenty one seventeen. All right, McGlinchey jumps
Speaker 10: off side on first down. They lose seven yards and
Speaker 10: three plays. Not only do they not get a long
Speaker 10: field goal, they have to punt the ball after starting
Speaker 10: on thirty three. Miami goes right down the scores, then
Speaker 10: Denver turns it over. It's thirty five thirteen at halftime.
Speaker 10: So I'm thinking, all right, is there an opportunity for
Speaker 10: the Broncos to get back in this And I kept
Speaker 10: waiting for that to happen. But they had two interceptions.
Speaker 10: I mean, they had had three turnovers. Cortland fumbled the
Speaker 10: ball twice, and then Russell had a pass deflective line
Speaker 10: of scrimmage and was picked. And then once it got
Speaker 10: to whatever forty something to thirteen. You knew at that
Speaker 10: point the game is over. And then it became a
Speaker 10: parent like, Okay, Miami's not slowing down here, Denver's not
Speaker 10: stopping them at all. Right, the second and thirteen guys
Speaker 10: scored the last couple of touchdowns, and then it becomes embarrassing.
Speaker 10: And so I'm sure my call on the fourth quarter,
Speaker 10: I felt like one of the fans that was watching
Speaker 10: maybe the biggest train wreck from a defensive standpoint that
Speaker 10: I have ever seen. And so my play by play
Speaker 10: and my sort of discussed with how they were playing,
Speaker 10: I'm sure was reflected in my call.
Speaker 4: Hey, Dave, so let's talk about the Bears and Denver.
Speaker 4: When you look at two quarterbacks that are completely opposite
Speaker 4: ends of the spectrum, one had already have what some
Speaker 4: consider a Hall of Fame career and another guy has
Speaker 4: the athleticism and the potential to have a long NFL career.
Speaker 11: Where do you think the advantage lies in this game?
Speaker 4: Will Russell coming to an opponent stadium that's you know,
Speaker 4: at the drop of the hat, or if the Bears
Speaker 4: have three two consecutive three and outs could turn against
Speaker 4: the Bears, or the dynamic athleticism of Justin Fields. What
Speaker 4: do you think the quarterback position is going to offer
Speaker 4: each team?
Speaker 10: You know, Tom, I would say this about the Broncos,
Speaker 10: and I suspect and you guys would know better than I,
Speaker 10: but I suspect this is true for the Bears as well.
Speaker 10: The Broncos are a fragile team right now, so they
Speaker 10: need they need things to go well.
Speaker 2: Because what happened against.
Speaker 10: Miami, even though they didn't give up seventy in any
Speaker 10: game last year, but it was reminiscent of what happened
Speaker 10: to them last year. And so I will say this,
Speaker 10: I think Russell has actually played pretty well in his
Speaker 10: three games, and so I look at if there's an
Speaker 10: edge in terms of quarterback play. And I was a
Speaker 10: big Justin Fields fan coming out of Ohio State, but
Speaker 10: I would give the edge to Russell because he's played
Speaker 10: better than at any point last year.
Speaker 2: I think the key will be which team.
Speaker 10: I mean, both these teams look at their opponent and say,
Speaker 10: I mean, at least as a former player, I would
Speaker 10: think they'd say, fellas, if we don't win this one,
Speaker 10: if we can't beat these guys, then this year may
Speaker 10: be really really difficult. The issue is both teams feel
Speaker 10: that way and they're playing each other in the same game.
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm sure the Bears look at the Broncos
Speaker 10: and say, they just gave up seventy and we get
Speaker 10: these dudes at home. We got to find a way
Speaker 10: to win. The Broncos look at the Bears and say, well,
Speaker 10: I mean, this is a game. We better find a
Speaker 10: way to win our first game of the year. So
Speaker 10: I think it's going to come down to which team
Speaker 10: avoids making a crucial mistake. And then also, I think
Speaker 10: from our perspective the two broadcaster teams, I think it'll
Speaker 10: be interesting to see the resolve both or one of
Speaker 10: those teams has when they make that mistake. You can
Speaker 10: see in body language, you can see in a lot
Speaker 10: of different things if that team has said, oh man,
Speaker 10: here we go again.
Speaker 3: I don't know how well you know him yet Sean Payton,
Speaker 3: but do you think he's given his experience and success
Speaker 3: in New Orleans over the years remaking that outfit more
Speaker 3: than a couple of times to become a winning franchise?
Speaker 3: Is he good at insulating his players from the distraction
Speaker 3: of what is I mean? I tuned into Denver Radio
Speaker 3: all week just to hear and take the temperature. My goodness,
Speaker 3: they want to fire everybody, so the player's got to
Speaker 3: be feeling that too. But do you think he's a
Speaker 3: veteran coach is good at insulating his players from that,
Speaker 3: because we all know coaches flushed after one day ask
Speaker 3: the players to do the same. But this one seems
Speaker 3: to sting a lot more. But it is a week
Speaker 3: to week league.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that, Jeff.
Speaker 10: I think you know, when he came on and I
Speaker 10: interviewed him, I get the interview him before he goes
Speaker 10: before members of the press, and frankly, I thought maybe
Speaker 10: he wouldn't do the interview and that would have been okay,
Speaker 10: because I was struggling to think, like, how I could
Speaker 10: you know, question, can you possibly ask an NFL head
Speaker 10: coach when he just got beat seventy to twenty. But
Speaker 10: he came on and I said, hey, Sean, this is
Speaker 10: obviously a tough one. I'm not exactly sure, excuse me
Speaker 10: where to start? And he was great about it. He said, listen,
Speaker 10: this is embarrassing, totally unacceptable. He said, Normally at times,
Speaker 10: you know, we try to move on, but we're not
Speaker 10: going to be able to move on from this one.
Speaker 10: We have to we have to look at this one
Speaker 10: and analyze exactly what happened. And I thought he made
Speaker 10: a telling comment, he said, and he said, I've got
Speaker 10: to look at the tape and figure out are we
Speaker 10: putting our guys in positions to be successful. I took
Speaker 10: that as a direct reflection on the defense. But to
Speaker 10: his credit, he's a smart guy. He immediately then said,
Speaker 10: defensively and offensively.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think he's insulated the players.
Speaker 10: But he's an old school coach, Jeff in that he's
Speaker 10: much more old school a la a Bill Parcell than
Speaker 10: he is new school.
Speaker 2: I'll uh, let's say a Mike McDaniel. So I would
Speaker 2: guess I'm not at.
Speaker 10: The facility with those players in the meetings, but I
Speaker 10: would guess this week has not not been all that
Speaker 10: comfortable for players at Douve Valley.
Speaker 11: So, Dave, what side of the ball can play better?
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, good lord, right, but you have Russell,
Speaker 10: you know, Yeah, I mean when you give up seven
Speaker 10: hundred and twenty six yards and seventy points, you miss
Speaker 10: almost thirty tackles in a game, you have the body
Speaker 10: language in that game of a team that cannot wait
Speaker 10: for the game to get over. I think if if
Speaker 10: you have a competitive bunch, if you have competitive fire
Speaker 10: as an NFL athlete, you better come out Sunday and play.
Speaker 10: So I think the Broncos defense is not nearly obviously
Speaker 10: as bad.
Speaker 2: As they have played. But I'll tell you this, they
Speaker 2: didn't play.
Speaker 10: I mean, they played okay against the Raiders, right, gave
Speaker 10: up seventeen points, couldn't get to win, but that was
Speaker 10: seventeen points the Raiders had on six possessions. They did
Speaker 10: not play well against the Commanders. Sam Howe looked like
Speaker 10: the reincarnation of fran Tarkington. And then the next week
Speaker 10: the Commanders go home and get the breaks beat off
Speaker 10: by Buffalo. So I think the defense has a lot
Speaker 10: to prove. I think there's a lot at stake in
Speaker 10: this game. In the next couple of games for the
Speaker 10: Broncos defense, in particular, the offense has got to stop
Speaker 10: with self inflicted wounds. They've got to stop turn the
Speaker 10: ball over and jumping off sides. And the margin of
Speaker 10: air for the Broncos offense is really thin. They're able
Speaker 10: to move the ball. I think Sewn's done a nice
Speaker 10: job in some of the schemes that he's implemented.
Speaker 2: I think Russell has.
Speaker 10: Looked much better in the pocket than at any time
Speaker 10: last year. But they don't have aside from Marvin Mims,
Speaker 10: the rookiet of Oklahoma, they're not a real explore team.
Speaker 10: They've got some injuries. They're missing Dulsae to tight end,
Speaker 10: who's a really big threat in the passing game. So
Speaker 10: they've got to play clean football and they haven't been
Speaker 10: able to do that in any of the three games.
Speaker 3: Well, I think the pressure on both teams for this
Speaker 3: one oh three is tough. Three game losing streaks any
Speaker 3: point in any season sounds off alarms. So we got
Speaker 3: it both in Chicago and Denver. Dave, we will see
Speaker 3: you on Sunday. Make sure you say hello. As a
Speaker 3: quick aside, I did a quick search to find out
Speaker 3: how many years he was broadcasting, and the first thing
Speaker 3: that pops up was a Dave Logan Cleveland Brown signed
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty two tops football card. And I think the
Speaker 3: price was one hundred and eighty two bucks or something
Speaker 3: like that. Yeah, but then but then just for kicks,
Speaker 3: just for kicks, and it was framed and PSA graded
Speaker 3: right if you collect cards. But then I look up Tom.
Speaker 3: There are no cards, but there's a autographed mini helmet
Speaker 3: super Bowl twenty Tom Fair, authenticated by Beckett A hundred.
Speaker 3: It's been reduced from one seventy five ninety nine to
Speaker 3: one fifty seven nine. Come on, fellas, Hey.
Speaker 10: Here's here's the deal. One of us in this conversation
Speaker 10: as a Super Bowl ring and the other two guys
Speaker 10: do not. And so Tom Tom is the leader in
Speaker 10: the clubhouse in that regard.
Speaker 6: You got it.
Speaker 3: We'll see you Sunda day. Thanks for taking some time.
Speaker 3: Good luck tonight in your high school game.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you. Great to catch up with you, guys.
Speaker 2: See you Sunday, all right, Dave, thanks.
Speaker 3: Back with more, Back with more on Bears Weekly after
Speaker 3: this time out.
Speaker 1: Excus Bears Weekly with a portion of the Bears for
Speaker 1: twenty three years.
Speaker 2: Jeff j on the Bears Radio Network.
Speaker 3: Want VIP access to every Bears home game, exclusive seeding,
Speaker 3: sideline credits and more. Now available to get the ultimate
Speaker 3: VIP fan package this season of visiting Chicago Bears vip
Speaker 3: dot com and have us all. This is Bears Weekly,
Speaker 3: Tom Fair, Jeff Jioniac injury report today, Tommy no practice again, today.
Speaker 3: For Josh Blackwell has got this hamstring, did come back
Speaker 3: last week, but it flares up again. Eddie Jackson hamstring,
Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson hamstring, did not practice, Mercedes Lewis had his
Speaker 3: usual day of rest, and Travis Homer as an ankle.
Speaker 3: He's limited today. Full practice though for Tyreek Stevenson. For
Speaker 3: Denver Frank Clark one of their veterman off pass rushers,
Speaker 3: Josie Jeweler starting a middle linebacker, and Mike Purcell their
Speaker 3: backup defensive tackle, did not practice. Jerry Judy, probably their
Speaker 3: number one receiver and a speed guy. Justin Simmons, an
Speaker 3: all Pro safety, limited today. I would expect those guys
Speaker 3: to play any thoughts.
Speaker 4: So, Eddie Jackson's on the injury report for a hamstring,
Speaker 4: You said that is correct? Okay, So it's not a
Speaker 4: foot injury.
Speaker 3: Says hamstring.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I'm confused about that because the last time
Speaker 4: we saw him in action he left the game with
Speaker 4: a foot issue and apparently did he go out there
Speaker 4: and try to work his foot in practice and then
Speaker 4: tweak the hamstring or But I don't know.
Speaker 6: It's a bit thing though.
Speaker 3: Is the secondary still remains battered and bruised. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: that's it. So I'm interested, And you brought this up
Speaker 3: Tevin Jenkins. What's he doing right now? Chris Morgan today,
Speaker 3: because the offensive coaches met with the media today. Again,
Speaker 3: as we said many times before, they alternate every week.
Speaker 3: Next week will be defense and so on and so forth,
Speaker 3: and he said, yeah, he's doing some work on the
Speaker 3: side and so forth. So this next week would be
Speaker 3: his ability to come on a short week. Would this
Speaker 3: be feasible to play against Washington in your opinion? Or
Speaker 3: do you give him another week and just take that
Speaker 3: extra ten days before the next week six game?
Speaker 4: You know, the thing that caught me by surprises At
Speaker 4: the end of the Kansas City game, I saw Tevin
Speaker 4: running off the field and he was running as quickly
Speaker 4: as you need to run as an offensive lineman.
Speaker 6: So to me, I think that he's.
Speaker 4: On the you know, his arrows pointed up. And but
Speaker 4: then how would they reconfigure the offensive line? Would Cody
Speaker 4: go back to center, go to left guard, or you know,
Speaker 4: I just don't know. And you know, Chris Morgan will
Speaker 4: have his hands full full trying to determine who are
Speaker 4: the best five to put out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a juggling act. I managed to get
Speaker 3: a couple of questions in with Chris today off of
Speaker 3: Tom's theme. Tom's been telling me and he said it
Speaker 3: on Our Bears et cetera podcast this week, which you
Speaker 3: could hear right now where if you get your podcasts. Hey,
Speaker 3: as an offensive lineman, this is your team right, It's
Speaker 3: like put it on our shoulders type of mentality. And
Speaker 3: I traveled that path with coach Morgan earlier today.
Speaker 12: Every offensive mind you think has the mentality, Hey, they
Speaker 12: asked us to put the game on our shoulders, do it,
Speaker 12: We'll do it. Is this group matured enough and ready
Speaker 12: enough to say, hey, go out there, it's going to
Speaker 12: be on us today.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I think that for sure. I do.
Speaker 13: And you know, whatever it takes to win, and we
Speaker 13: have not got there this season, so you know, whatever
Speaker 13: we need to do to help the team win, I
Speaker 13: think those guys are ready to do it. Really. You know,
Speaker 13: you want their best every day. You know, you don't
Speaker 13: want to get up or get down. You want guys
Speaker 13: to compete at a championship level every day. Like that's
Speaker 13: the goal. That's the mindset. We're not saving anything.
Speaker 3: Right, So you don't want to dangle a carrot for
Speaker 3: a game you want.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I want. I want guys to go
Speaker 13: out and give everything in their tank every day. And
Speaker 13: I know there's you know, less in your tank on
Speaker 13: certain days. You know it looks different, but you know
Speaker 13: that's the goal. That's the mindset. You know, You're you're
Speaker 13: worried about how good can you be?
Speaker 6: You know, max in it out?
Speaker 3: So about you fiery kind of coach?
Speaker 8: Are you that way?
Speaker 13: No, I'm a fiery coach. Oh yeah, we like to
Speaker 13: have fun. We like to go hard. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 13: you know, I want to coach guys with juice and
Speaker 13: we want to play with juice.
Speaker 12: And absolutely you think you have a lot of guys
Speaker 12: that make the makeup of yourself in that kind of regard.
Speaker 13: Yeah, we got everything we need in there, so we
Speaker 13: got everything we need.
Speaker 4: Big job thoughts, you know that, Chris Morgan says exactly right.
Speaker 4: I think everybody, including the head coach, they are the
Speaker 4: offensive line position coach. They all have to have the
Speaker 4: same mentality. And that's one thing about offensive lineman. They've
Speaker 4: always been.
Speaker 6: The road graders, the workers.
Speaker 4: They you know, Coach Stanfeld always used to say, if
Speaker 4: you win the game, you're not gonna get any credit.
Speaker 4: If you lose the game, you're gonna get all the blame.
Speaker 4: And so that's something that every lineman lives with.
Speaker 3: All Right, one segment to go, Bears Weekly wrapping up
Speaker 3: here on ESPN one thousand and the Bears Radio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Bears Weekly with the voice of the Bears
Speaker 1: for twenty three years, Jeff Jonyik on the Bears Radio Network.
Speaker 3: This segment of Bears Weekly brought to you by Athletical
Speaker 3: Physical Therapy. Visit Athletico dot com to requested in clinic
Speaker 3: or virtual appointment. It's start feeling better tomorrow. Final moments
Speaker 3: here with Tom Fair Jeff Joniak, getting you said for Bears,
Speaker 3: Broncos back at Soldier Field noon starts and pregame coverage
Speaker 3: far ours before and four hours after. So a lot
Speaker 3: to discuss, obviously with the Bears every single week. Tom
Speaker 3: a couple of nuggets. First of all, Howard defenses now
Speaker 3: looking at Justin Fields a week earlier, it kind of just,
Speaker 3: you know, laid back a little bit. The Cavas City
Speaker 3: Chiefs decided to spy him a little bit. Andrew Ginoko,
Speaker 3: the quarterback coach on what he thinks is coming.
Speaker 14: The cool thing about this league is you get to
Speaker 14: go against some of the brightest minds in the world,
Speaker 14: a defensive coordinator, and so they're spending their week in
Speaker 14: their night trying to you know, stop what you do,
Speaker 14: and you're finding your best way to get your players
Speaker 14: in the best situation to make plays. So, you know,
Speaker 14: we're always looking at things, and without going into specifics
Speaker 14: because again I can't give you the call sheet yet,
Speaker 14: but but you know, we're always trying to find ways
Speaker 14: to put him in position to make plays. You know,
Speaker 14: whether it's his arm, whether it's his feet, whether it's
Speaker 14: something later in the down, you know that's something that
Speaker 14: that's we go into a lot of detail trying to
Speaker 14: find those things. So yeah, well we'll try to CounterPunch
Speaker 14: just what they do to stop him.
Speaker 3: What's the best plan?
Speaker 4: Again, I think you need Justin throwing out a variety
Speaker 4: of positions right now with the offensive line that has
Speaker 4: shown as susceptible to giving up pressure.
Speaker 6: And it's not necessarily pressure that gets to the quarterback.
Speaker 4: It's pressure that condenses the pocket that makes Justin think
Speaker 4: quicker than he needs to. So if you could use
Speaker 4: his athleticism to be a threat. You can open up
Speaker 4: a variety of possibilities for the different receivers you can
Speaker 4: use and the different throwing platforms he can use.
Speaker 3: All right, Who's winning Detroit at Green Bay Tonight?
Speaker 6: Detroit?
Speaker 4: Why David buktiaris put on ir Their offensive line has
Speaker 4: a lot of issues. I think you know Detroit right
Speaker 4: now has a really aggressive attitude and they're willing to
Speaker 4: take chances that are unpredictable.
