WEBVTT - Nagy, Desai talk defensive takeaways | Coaches Show 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.719 Happy victory Monday, everybody, as we kick off the Bears 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:04.960 coaching show this evening with head coach Matt Negg. He 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.000 brought to you by a whiply CPASN Consultants Jeff Joniak 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:10.080 here with you until eight o'clock tonight here on news 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.399 Radio one oh five nine WBBM, and coming up in 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:14.800 the program at the bottom of the hour, a defensive 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:19.439 coordinator Sean Desai joined with a guy that's probably bouncing 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.639 off the walls thrilled about his defense's performance is scintillating. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.320 Twenty to seventeen went over the Bengals Matt one and 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.400 one off to Cleveland for Week three. We got we 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.520 gotta talk about that defense right out of the gate 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.640 and Sean himself, Yeah, they were. They were awesome, Jeff. 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.440 It was that's the defense that we know. And they 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.800 were flying around, they were having fun. They were just 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.879 you know, doing what they did all week in practice 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.040 to go, you know, and forced a punt and then 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.680 four downs and then another punt in the first half, 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.440 and then to have that turnover fest that they had 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.199 where they had the fumble recovery, the force fumble and 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.120 then the three picks in a row. I don't know 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.480 if that's ever happened with the linebacker, D line and 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.400 dB all getting an interception in this you know in 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.040 one game. Well, I got my best man on the job, 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.640 our thirty six year statistician, Doug COLLETTI will we'll do 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.000 the math on that one. I was searching as well. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.800 I thought of eighty five. The eighty five Bears certainly 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.039 had a game where everybody had their hand in something. 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.200 But the d Linement angle is the tough one. Yeah, 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.479 we love love his defense. Uh well, we're gonna find 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.520 that out. But that but that does speak to a 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.959 larger discussion about the defense because as these plays, these 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.040 impression plays were being made throughout the game. I mean, 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.880 the roster was checking boxes. It was a whole unit. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.920 Like you said, they were swarming. And I the first thing, 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.600 and I may even said this in the broadcast, because 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.760 it really was like a hornet's nest stirred up. Yeah, no, 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.160 it wasn't. And that's what I loved about it was 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.040 they went out and they did it. And you know, 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.080 I keep talking about practice, and I just gotta credit 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.840 the coaches, and I gotta credit to the guys there 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.200 in practice that when you do that in practice, you 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.280 do it in the game, and they did it and 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.520 and you felt it. And to get those turnovers, and 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.840 we could have taken advantage of the short field that 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.080 we had on offense. And I'm sure we'll talk about that, 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.240 but you know, these guys, they came out and they 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.079 have fun, they had swagged, they got they turned, they 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.440 got the football from them. We wanted the turnover battle. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.120 We hit their quarterback, we stopped the run game, and 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.000 we won the game. You know, you like the way 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.000 practices typically goal but deep down in your heart, do 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.359 you know some weeks just just wasn't the best and 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.400 it showed on Sunday. Well, I think that's it's very 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.520 normal to at times like you just always we all 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.480 have to check each other right, and it's it's my 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.640 job as a coach, it's our job as coaches to 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.919 make sure that we stay on those guys and and 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.520 that we watched the film and we see where we're at. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.600 And so those guys practice, they practice hard a lot, 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.120 but we just wanted to emphasize it and then they 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.960 saw the results. Can't get into scheme. We won't get 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.320 in it with Sean later either, because but but a 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.000 lot of it was present, prevalent, and you could see it, 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.560 a lot of mixes and coverages, a lot of a 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.560 lot of things happening on the defense At times. I 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.720 was trying to stay on top of it myself. Where's 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.840 every buddy winding up at the snap? And that clearly 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.480 is something that Sean has gotten his wheelhouse right now. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.680 I think he made a great adjustment. I think he 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.840 did some different things with the players in that front seven, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.360 and it makes it hard on a quarterback when you 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.920 have moving parts, and we did that, and then the 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.080 guys got to go make plays, and the guys make plays. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.720 So it was a great combination of scheme, a great 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.200 combination of execution by the players, and they put it 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.880 together and they had a lot of fun. Bears head 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.200 coach Matt Neage here on the Bears Coaches Show. It's 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.960 brought to you by Whippley CPA's and Consultants. Here until 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.840 eight o'clock tonight, let's talk roal Kuan Smith, because I 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.280 gotta give it to you. You've been talking about it 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.240 since the offseason program where his star is rising and 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.440 the players are starting to add up now and this 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.720 is a guy that was around the entire offseason. I 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.280 really believe he loves the building. He loves being there, 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.600 he loves being in Chicago. Berry loves this city. And 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.320 now I think that's a guy who's now hitting a 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:01.400 real comfort zone in his mature and where he's at 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.600 as a rising player in this league, no doubt. And 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.640 you know more than anybody, this city and the history 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.400 that we've had with defense and middle linebackers, and when 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.800 you have these middle linebackers that come and play on 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.080 these great defenses, he can definitely carry the torch for them. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.400 And he's he's special now. He is really really growing 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.760 into an unbelievable player. And when when you make a 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.200 play like that and you just putting, you intercept the football, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.120 but then you make a running back miss run down 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.800 the sideline, you got help with your buddies down the sideline, 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.640 you turn it into a touchdown. Those are special plays. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.599 Those are game changing plays. And that's why he's here. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.839 He's worked hard to get to this point. He's really 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.039 helping us out. Oh as Sean later in the hour 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.479 about this, But if you were to analyze that play, 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.680 say you were in the booth, okay, and you were 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.240 on television as as a Bear's analyst, you were doing 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.640 Tom Thayer's job breaking down that highlight. To me, the 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.760 best part of the whole thing. Yes, he caught the football, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.479 but that first step he had full worker. But David Montgomery, 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.240 they're getting past Joe Mixon. That was immediate reaction. Boom. 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.720 It was instinctive right right. That to me was the 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.960 best part of the whole thing, no doubt about it. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.320 Number One, he caught the ball right because a lot 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.599 of these defensive guys they can't catch. So he called 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.720 he caught the ball. Number one. And then number two 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.360 he was fleet. He was like like he used to 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.000 have fleet of feet there where he was able to 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.800 make Joe Mixon miss. And then then he started bursting 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:28.600 and then all of a sudden, he felt like he 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.320 was back there in high school with that ball in 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.160 the left hand and running down the sideline with his 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.320 guys blocking for him, and he scored a touchdown. So 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.000 it was awesome. See that's it right there. Left hand 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.960 is I didn't even evaluate that part because Burrow wasn't 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.960 going with the tackle. He's going for the strip. So 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.400 that was critical right there. Outstanding played front to back 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.599 to me. That's like the guy, the power hitting power 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.080 hitter in baseball hitting a Grand Slam and now everybody's 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.280 juiced up because the defense played furious after that. All Right, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.560 what's the latest on Andy Dalton and if healthy, will 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.240 he the starter this week against Cleveland Brunch. Yeah? Absolutely, 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.400 So you know, we're still working through the results of 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.800 where he's at this morning with the MRI and all 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.320 of that, and you know, he really toughed it out yesterday. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.560 I know he's a little bit sore um and so 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.640 we'll see you no more tonight. If he is healthy, 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.279 he will be the starter. But you know, well, well 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.240 we'll work through all that and get more results later 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:24.880 on tonight. That drive although aided as well by an 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.080 Eli Apple penalty, which that counts to me as a 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.240 big pass play. Uh that that was the play that 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.880 basically in the end gave you the lead you never 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.400 gave up. So the critical aspect of that to start 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.080 fast is what you and I talked about in the 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.160 pregame show, was something you really needed and it really 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.320 set the tone for the whole day. Yeah, that's a 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.240 good point, and you know that that was really good 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.880 for our offense to have a tem play drive. And 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.320 here here's so if you keep it really simple and 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.120 you say, okay, that first drive versus every other drive 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.479 that you had, because because Jeff the very new drive, 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.360 we had a fifteen play drive there resulted in zero points. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.520 So that first the first drive, we had ten plays, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.880 we got a touchdown, no penalties, three for three on 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.840 third down, one for one in the red zone. We 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.200 had a ten yard play, a seventeen yard play, a 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.040 thirty two yard play, and an eleven yard play within 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.720 those ten plays. And so that's good football. And then 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.840 we had the fifteen play and you know, we had 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.280 penalties and we had some stuff called back. That that's 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.280 the difference to the rest of the rest of the game. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.080 Snap his back for man Rush Dalton to throw conviction prow. 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:38.480 I'm a post Ellen Robinson touchdown, touchdown Bears. Welcome back 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.320 to the Bears Coaching Show. It's brought to you by 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.760 a Whippley CPAs and Consultants, a proud partner with the 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.680 Chicago Bears. Learn more at Whippley dot com. Allen Robinson 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.680 touchdown catch the fortieth in his career. Andy Dalton's throw 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.840 in the highlight. You hear me say I mean, I 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.920 just couldn't help myself. He's getting rid of the ball, 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.880 and I said, a convicted throw, that's what it was. Yeah, 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.440 that's exactly the way to describe that, right, it was. Yeah, 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.320 it was a great throw. And you know down in 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.680 the red zone down there, there's traffic throws and not 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.040 every play is wide open, so you gotta gotta be 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.960 on time, you gotta be in rhythm, and then you 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.160 got to have a contested catch, and that we had. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.240 All that happened. We had protection and he made a 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.080 good decision, made a good throw on time, and then 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.000 a Rob made a heck of the catch and he's 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.119 probably pulling his hair out on an absolute beautiful strike 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.400 from justin field to the end zone later on in 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:32.080 the game. Yeah, you know, it's all these years we've 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:33.640 been here with a Rob and you don't see that 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.880 very often, you know, and we get we get spoiled. 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.040 But every now and then you'll you'll have that, and 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.760 I know him more than anybody would want that back 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.959 with at the same point in time, We'll never stop 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.480 throwing those to him because he's a special player. He 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.600 once led this league in touchdown reception. So that's certainly 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.880 something he's capable of doing. Let's talk David Montgomery's day. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.320 I think you knew and everybody watching that Bengals defense 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.960 against Dalvin Cook and the Minnesota Vikings. They've loaded up. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.319 They've loaded up on size two, three and fifty pounders 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.640 in there and a very active Larry Ogan job. So 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.040 it wasn't gonna be easy running the ball up the 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.520 middle on these guys, and that proved to be the case. However, 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.240 once again, this young man got I think he had 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.560 forty four yards after contact. And it wasn't big chunks 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.600 of yards. This was grinding. This was a grinding running game. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.920 It was, and that David's built for that. He makes 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.679 guys miss. He has great contact balance, and so I 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.080 really appreciate all those yards after contact because they do 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.280 make it hard, and they went out and made it. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.560 They had a big emphasis on changing up some of 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.559 their D line from last year and they're going to 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.000 stop the run, so that that was challenging for us, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.200 but we were able to still have those attempts. Frankly, 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.440 it's a great precursor for what is the AFC North. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.760 I mean, those teams are built that way. Baltimore, the 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:51.360 same Cleveland now the same Cincinnati, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.520 So those are all opponents coming up on your schedule. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.319 So let's talk about the offensive line. And I gotta 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.400 give a tip of the cap to Jason Peters. Man. 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.360 That's a p that's a pro. Left the game last week, 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.280 comes back, plays the full game in the heat. No doubt. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.320 He's a special player, even at thirty nine years old. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.280 He's somebody that he speaks volumes to these guys on 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.320 the offensive line into our offense in general of being 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.400 able to tough it out. That was huge for us 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:18.720 to be able to get him in that game. And 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.520 I thought he did a great job. All right, let's 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.400 say some time here for your rookie quarterback justin fields, 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.160 no kidding, you know, gotta be ready at any moment. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.400 That certainly was the case for him. Some good things, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.320 some things need work at what you would expect from 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.480 a rookie quarterback without a week of prep. Break it 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.880 all down for us, and how you looked at it, Yeah, no, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.960 he did. He did a really good job coming on 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.680 in in that situation. And you know, for me just 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.640 getting the plays into him and him being able to 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.120 get in and out of the huddle. You guys know, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:47.880 we talked about it in a training camp. We talked 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.400 about in no tas that that can be a starting 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.720 point for him to get good at and he's done that. 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.960 Now the next part is now making the play work. 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.000 And so what a great time for him to be 0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.040 able to see some defenses and make some plays and 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.320 and there's some learning experiences in there that that were 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:04.800 he's going to learn from and we're all going to 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.480 learn from. But he definitely got better. Nothing can surprise 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.600 him at this point. He's been so you know, raised 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.240 to be this, you know, right from high school. But 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.840 in conversation you had with him maybe today or last night, 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.440 how was he feeling about it? Though? Yeah, that's probably 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.960 what's what's the neatest part of all this is you know, 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.960 you could look at his numbers and and he'll he'll 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.480 tell you and you know, he knows he can play 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.640 a lot better, and he's hard on himself. He's his 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.080 biggest critic. But that's what you love about him because yeah, 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:37.480 there's some things that he can do better and he 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.439 can learn from and we all can help him with that. 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.120 That's our job is to make sure we help him, 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.640 but at the same point in time, we also know 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.960 the good things that he's done. And that scrambled that 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.880 he had at the end of the game where he 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.800 had he had him the defensive end flying in the 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.320 air to try to tackle him, and he brushed him 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.120 off and then and then burst it away from the 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.080 next guy and got the first down. That was huge, 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.840 and not many guys to that, but right. I mentioned 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.120 that on our Bears Game Night Live show because when 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.800 you when you get a closer up view of a 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.160 Trey Hendrickson is long he make you know he just 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.880 slipped off. He's thick legged. It's not some narrow based quarterback. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.400 He's strong and I'm sure he's even gonna get stronger 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.880 over the course of his career, so that allows him 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.000 to break tackles as well. It was an awkward landing. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.640 I thought for a second, Oh, that's not good because 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.520 he probably wanted to slide, but he got hit from 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.679 behind and that changed the whole thing. Probably scared him 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.320 as well, and we talked to him in the postgame 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.520 show and he kind of laughed about it, but that 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.000 those are the kind of things that probably that's why 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.520 you have no hair on your head that you can't 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.840 control happen in an NFL game. Yeah, when we were 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.000 watching it this morning watching the tape, you know you 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:46.560 do that because we saw it was right on our 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.960 sideline and then for that to happen, you definitely hold 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.839 your breath, blow, snap fakes, the hand off to mixing 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.280 with all the trainers intercepted flexing at the ten and 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.320 down to the nine. That is three consecutive interceptions. The 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.559 pressures home hid out like Ogletree s here sack and 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.840 an interception by Agelo Blackson. Single game Bears tickets are available. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.920 Cheer on the Monsters of the Midway live at Soldier 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.760 Field this season. Visit Chicago Bears dot com slash tickets 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:16.360 for more information. Just heard the Angelo Blackson interception with 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.520 Bears head coach Mattneggie. I'll tell you what, that's his 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.360 athletic A players you're going to get because he showed 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.400 some moves as well, and you know, hey, there's room 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.640 for guys like that on your offenseive time or two. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.480 Angelo Blackson, I mean that was a pro move right there, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.280 squeezing that ball, keeping it high up in the air 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.240 away from anybody to take it away. That was reactionary 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.920 all the way around. It was, and it all started 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.800 with Ogle Tree with his blitz and then he got 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.240 his hands off in Joe Burrow's face and was able 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.400 to tip the ball and then like you're saying, to 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.400 be able to catch that ball, come down with it, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.200 and it actually like he actually like bobbled it then 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.400 called it. But then the next part too, is just 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.560 he kind of he kind of raised the ball up 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.600 a little right like that's what I'm saying, a pretty 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.600 good a fleet and started running. I thought he's gonna 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.600 high step into the end zone, but he did a 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.480 great job, ball security went down and then as Eddie 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.080 big Man does, he's going to celebrate afterwards. Yeah, you know, 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.560 he's been a very impressive edition. I know he led 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.320 the Arizona Cardinals and Pressures last year. You think of 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.480 a guy like that just simply as a run stuffer, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.680 but he can collapse the pocket. And now he's had 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.040 a couple of nice starts to these to this season, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.120 and now you're bringing Mario Edwards back into the mix. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.720 And the only word I could think of describing Mario 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.480 as he comes off the suspension the NFL suspension is violent. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.840 He plays violent football, right, Yeah, without a doubt. I 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.680 think that's a perfect word for him. He is. He's violent, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.560 and he loves every part of the word violent. I 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:43.320 mean he is coming to sack that quarterback and do 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.000 his thing. So that'll be good to get him back 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.160 and knocking on the door Eddie Goldman. He was a 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.160 game time decision last week, so maybe he comes back too, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.360 and that would even strengthen this thing even further to 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.280 help your rotation upfront. Yeah, that'd be awesome. I mean, 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.320 you think about the way our defensive line has been 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.800 playing in to to get those two guys back would 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:06.000 be great. All right, let's talk more about just the 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:10.040 offense in general. Clearly there's still growth potential here no 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.200 matter whose quarterback in just because of what you talked about, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.760 all those little starts and stops, because you need to 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.640 score touchdowns. Yeah, and that's probably the biggest thing is 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.880 just with the field position that we had after those turnovers. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.360 You know, you're looking at the plus thirty nine yard line, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.440 the plus thirty six, the plus nine and coming away 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.120 with all that with six points, and that's where touchdowns 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.680 you can you can put the game away. And that's 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.760 you know, we got to learn from that. Luckily we 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.720 came out with the win and finished it with a 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.840 four minute but in the red zone there we got 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.320 to stay away from penalties, keep away sacks, and then 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:44.960 just you know, we got to go ahead and just 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.560 keep executing. Non't matter if a team wins or loses. 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.400 And I'm sure you're the same way as a staff 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:50.880 and as a head coach. You look at the math, 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.280 you look at having all transpired, you look at the 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.080 game tape, and some things don't add up, or you know, 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.760 you win. But so the tight end, that'll be a 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.800 time this Yeah, obviously just one time. Yeah, No, I 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.960 mean that that's we got to get the tight ends. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.000 That's not intentional, that's that's uh, that's something that we 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.520 want to always every week. We want those tight ends involved. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.800 They're they're a great weapon in this offense. And so 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.400 we got to be better there. And that starts with me. 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.800 And the thing about it, you got some emotional guys 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.920 playing on that unit. I mean, Jimmy shows it all 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.040 the time on the field, and Cole Commet is right 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.280 there with him. I mean, those are two guys that 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.200 really want to be a part of the offense. Hey, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.040 and they always say they're a quarterback's best friend, right, Matt, Yeah, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.920 no doubt there. Well, there's guys and Jesse James too, 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:34.960 and whole see. I mean all those guys. It's a 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.920 great room and they all just want to do what's 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.320 best for the offense. And they don't they honestly don't 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.600 care about staffs, but they do care about helping us win. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.480 That's that's why they've been so great to us. Guy 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.800 who cares about winning as well, and maybe got lost 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.880 in the shuffle of this went Darnell Mooney. The conversation 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.800 should be centered on that as well, because got himself 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.360 open a great throw by Justin, a drop in the 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.680 bucket throw one and maybe I do maybe could have 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.200 got the other one. I don't know, I haven't watched 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.360 it all yet. Did but uh, Darnell Mooney running routes, 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.879 who wants to be the best at it, and he 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.440 really created some separation to get himself open from and Justin. Yeah, 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.560 for both guys, he's been doing a great job with that. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.359 He's you know, he's he's a phenomenal outrunner. And we 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:15.879 just had that one that was just a little bit 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.320 off between those two guys. But I have a lot 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.239 of confidence we run that again, they'll they'll connect. All right, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:25.560 let's talk Browns keeping them uh, you know, reasonable rushing 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.360 total I think would be your first order of defense 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.199 because it's an outstanding rushing unit. Yeah. Coach Stefanski does 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.119 a great job with them on offense, and you know 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.960 Baker Mayfield running the show and with Chubb and Kareem 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.000 Hunt who I was with in Kansas City, and those 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.480 wide receivers and tight ends, they do a lot of 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.320 different personnel packages. They are it's gonna start with the 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.280 run and then they're going to hit you with some 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.520 shots and play actions. And the offensive line is good. 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.399 So we're gonna have to bring that same defense that 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.919 we had this past weekend and uh and have our 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.840 handsful there. They've done a nice job with Baker Mayfield 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.399 not the tallest quarterback, but certainly a confident back and 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.960 right now leads the NFL and completion percentage. Yeah, that's 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.600 that's a good Again, they do some really good things 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.399 and those guys are working well together. And he's a 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.320 good quarterback. He can beat you with his arms and 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:15.919 his legs. First thing you think of Brown's defense, Miles Garrett. Yeah, 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.399 he's Miles is just such a big, long rangey defender 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.960 that you know, he can sack you, he can stop 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.280 the run, he can get your throwing lane on the 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.080 passing game, and so that defense in general that they 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.280 fly around and they made play. So we're gonna we'll 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.240
