Always important ten point went over the Lions, 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.880 and congrats on your thirtieth regular season win. Those things 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:26.680 don't matter, but it's a mile post, you know, so 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.120 I gotta give you that. And uh, I had your 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:30.920 post game locker room we did on the on the 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.960 TV show last night on Bears Game Night Live on 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.040 Fox thirty two Chicago, and I just felt you were emotional, 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:42.040 not in the rara like oh man, look what we did, 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.600 but it was it was reserved. I think you guys 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.239 came through a lot, and so did you. Jeff fair 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.519 to say absolutely, And I think you know that was 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.480 a getting through that that last week. I think our 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.160 guys understood that we rallied together and it was important 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.880 for us having a division game at home to get 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.920 back on track. And so all the credit goes to 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.720 the players for just really stepping up and in all 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.800 three phases like we said yesterday. Um, and when you 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.000 see it on tape, it confirms it. You know, the energy, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.160 the guys flying around to finish uh in particularly, you know, 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.600 I thought that the offensive line, the tight ends, the 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.000 wide receivers, the way they running backs ranto football like, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.320 that's that's what it's all about. And it makes life 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.920 a lot easier on third down. Albeit we weren't great, 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:26.800 it made it a lot easier to not live in 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.200 those third and lungs and so a lot of good 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.399 things to pull from it. And now we got to 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.280 make sure that we, you know, we follow that up 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.880 with another performance like that. Yeah, people were giving me 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.880 a hard time because I use the word hangry to 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.440 describe what I wanted the Bears to be on Sunday 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.000 at Soldier Field. Hungry and angry, angry, you know, And 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.840 that's exactly how you guys looked. No, it was, and 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.040 it's a mindset and the mentality. The players took it 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.720 head on. They were they were that way, I'd say, 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.760 and they didn't just start that way for a driver 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.160 or two. They really kept it to the very end. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.960 I mean you see it Jeff on tape. Offensively, you 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.960 see it at the end of the game. And then 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.920 we were able to get in you victory formation. The 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.280 defense being able to be so great in the red zone, 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.720 to have those goal to goals, to have them come 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.919 away with no points to get to take away. You 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.119 felt that swarm. You felt these guys flying around and 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.480 they you know, they stayed patient with it. So in 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.200 the end, when you hold them the fourteen and you 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.320 score twenty four, you have a chance to win. No. 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.440 One of five in the red zone. The incredible aspect 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.440 of being one of four in the goal to go 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.560 situations and they get seven points out of that. You know, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.360 Jim Schwantz and our postgame show was talking about it. Yeah, 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.400 in this era, teams can move the ball between the twenties, 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.320 but it gets a whole lot difficult and you really 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.560 make your mark as a football team. And people get 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.040 all cringed when you hear Ben no break, But hey, 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.480 that's what you have to do if you want to 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.880 be a good defense. Yeah, because you're you're eliminating points 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.880 off the scoreboard, and especially when they go for it 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.920 on fourth down. That's the other part, you know, fourth 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.799 down for us, we've we've done a good job of 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.359 making teams pay when they do go and that's a 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.360 part of it. But again, all three phases, our special 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.120 teams did a great job too. I felt it on 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.079 the sideline and you can see it a couple of 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.000 things here and there. Before the most part, when we 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.600 put three phases together, which this was the first time 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.000 in four games we did that, you're gonna have a 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.760 chance to win every game, and it doesn't mean you're 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.680 gonna you're gonna have a chance, and we did that, 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.160 all right. The eye word now is popped up, and 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.000 you know what that is? Identity, right, So this is 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.480 what you're always seeking. But you feel you came out 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.560 of this what you believe is an identity for this 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.760 football team. But keeping in mind, it's a flexible identity, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.640 that's right. I think that's the key, Jeff, is that 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.040 it is flexible and it's it's game by game, it's 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:41.880 matchup by matchup. But well, we all agreed about in 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.839 the beginning of the week. Last week, after we went 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.440 through everything was win, loser, draw, whatever, happens. Let's be 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:48.840 able to come out of this thing and say we 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.080 at least did it with trying to have an identity. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.680 If you can do that, you can you can really 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.680 be a lot more comfortable understanding that you won or 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.880 you lost. And yesterday we won. So when you have 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.440 an identity and you win and you play as a 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.600 three face football team, that's a good feeling. So now 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.000 the great teams keep that going regardless of who they're playing. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:10.880 And so that's going to be the challenge this week. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.360 And and for you, does it allow you in terms 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.120 of how you guys handled things offensively yesterday from a 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.120 coaching point of view to see the bigger picture and 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.679 how did that feel? Again? It does? And it felt great. Um, 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.720 I think you mentioned it told me last night and 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.600 then just this morning too, you know you. For me, 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.320 I was really able to connect with that defense and 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.400 listen to the headset was shown a lot more detailed 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.040 as to what's going on timeouts, was you know, situational 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.880 football with timeouts challenges? Um, there was there was plays 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.000 that I saw yesterday with that. For instance, the one 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.920 catch that a rob had um where he toe tapped 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.680 and got it in I knew we caught the ball. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.560 I knew it was two feet in. But what we 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.680 were able to do was I was standing right there, 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.520 so I could see it, and and so knowing that, 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.919 we went fast and we aid them challenge it and 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.680 they burned a time out in the second half, which 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.560 is trucial. So like little things like that, I was 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.159 able to see be down there with the special teams 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.839 and then of course be there for the offense in 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.720 certain ways wherever I did too. So it felt good 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.240 to be able to do that. I felt like it 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.720 made me a better head coach, and I thought builded 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.040 a wonderful job yesterday. You know, the offensive line and 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.800 the blocking in general. We could go through so many 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.800 individual plays in the game. We don't have the time 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.320 to do it. But I mean wide receivers, all your 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.800 tight ends, JP as a fullback, all had a hand 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.960 in the blocking. I mean Darnelmoni's chopping a six foot five, 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.159 two hundred and sixty pound defensive n Bryant you know 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.360 in the game. And Alan Robinson, I mean talk about 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.040 being selfless. I mean he's targeted three times, but you 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.159 asked him to throw some important blocks. But the old 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.800 line in general, I said, you know, have this be 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.600 the day they be the reason? And did you guys 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.680 go We talked to Cody white Hair after the game 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.720 kind of insinuated that that that that conversation happened, that 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.799 maybe you guys went to you guys be the reason. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.599 I don't know if that happened. You can give some 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.960 clarity on that. But when an offensive line is asked 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.000 to be a reason, I think the game changes. Well, 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:16.039 these guys are very prideful and they know again they 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.359 know what we can be. And we felt like, hey again, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.000 beginning of a week, we're going to talk about how 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.080 we get better and a big part of that is 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.719 through the run game, and everything starts run and pass 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.000 with the O line. If you don't have protection, you 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.160 can throw. If you can't run, run block, you can't run. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.640 It's pretty simple. So when you can do both, it's special. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.919 And I thought yesterday the offensive line they deserved a 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.040 lot of credit for the mentality is stepping up. For 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.640 the very first play of the game, when David cut 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.640 back to the left and you see the entire offensive line, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.880 in particular seventy one Jason Peters just completely washed down 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.039 the left side of the line and allowed David to 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.800 cut back and we got We got nine yards on 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.320 the very first play. That's a really good feeling when 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.719 you can get nine yards on first intent. So it 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.880 started there and it ended in the four minute being 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.160 able to chew up clock and then then we've finished 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.200 it off with Justin making a great throw to to 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.640 a rob and the penalty, and so it was just 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.120 a team effort, even to the very end when when 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.040 we plunted the ball and they jumped all sides. You 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.200 know that was Tabs did a great job of having 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:19.960 that set up to try to get him to jump off, 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.640 and what do you know, they jumped off. So it 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.440 was one of those days and it feels good to 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.280 have that. Once safety Deep takes the snap looking to throw, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.520 gets a four man rush, plenty of time, Hark just back. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.080 Moody's free down the field, out it inside the fifty 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.920 to the forty Can he break the tech? Ley does 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.680 gets right, dodging decklers to the twenty six yard line, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.160 sixty three yards fields to Moony. Welcome back to the 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.000 Bears Coaches Show, and it's brought to you by a 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.520 Whippley CPA's end Consultants, A proud partner Chicago Bears. Learn 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.440 more at Whipley dot com. Jeff Joniac Matt Naggie heard 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.440 the throw and the highlight of Justin fields and a 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.160 beauty stretch in the field that Darnell Mooney break it 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.840 down for us. Buddy, Yeah, that was a pretty cool 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.920 play and got to give Justin a lot of credit. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.560 He saw the defense come down post snappy, he trusted 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.240 his progression and he was able to hit Mooney on 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.600 that circle post and um, you know, it starts with 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.000 the line with the protection. He had great protection, and 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.920 then Justin stayed in time and on rhythm and uh, 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.480 he was able to take a three step hitch and 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.240 throw and Moody Mooney and Justin were on the same wavelength. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.760 You know. Mooney hit that hit that nod and then 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.440 he went vertical upfield. He stayed away from that field 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.080 safety and Justin knew that and threw it to a 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.880 spot on time. And Justin didn't put too much air 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.640 on it and he didn't just throw a laser. It 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.319 was a nice number two ball that we call it. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.400 Mooney made a great catch, broke that one tackle and 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.719 then made some yards after the catch. So they were 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.000 connecting yesterday and as the need to seek. What's a 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.840 number two ball, if I may ask you at Liberty, Yeah, yeah, no, 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.040 So a number one would be when you throw like 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.719 a laser. A number three would be when you throw 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.040 like a lollipop, real higher, it touches the clouds. A 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.920 number two is in between. Very nice. Hey, you know what, 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.920 you gotta have slots, You have to you have to 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.560 do it in many different ways, in many, many different ways, 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.000 no doubt about it. You know, Justin says he was 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.440 in a different headspace for this one, and given the 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.640 adversity of a week ago, and you've mentioned it about 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:16.680 the special ability to bounce back no matter what, that's 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.640 a quality not every player, certainly not every quarterback can command. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.760 Justin deserves a lot of credit for being able to 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.719 bounce back from that, and I think his mindset is 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.560 rare for somebody as young as he is. But it 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.360 also speaks to who he's been and why he's where 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.640 he's at right now is because of that. Again, I 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.240 feel like, you know, it's it's only fair to let 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.760 Justin and everybody else understand it. Hey, we could have 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.920 helped him out better that first against Cleveland, and we 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.640 made it. You know, our job to do that as 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.360 coaches this week to make things feel better for him. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.280 And I you know, he said that to you yesterday 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.880 and he felt that way during the week of practice, 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.360 and I think it reflected on game day if you 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.320 saw it yet. But there's a great still shot of 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.199 him on the bench. He's sitting in a relaxed position 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.800 like this after the game, like, you know, a job 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.200 well done, and he's probably soaking in what just happened, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.080 given what occurred the week before, and you just wonder 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.120 what he was thinking at that moment. Oh yeah, I'm 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.360 sure I haven't seen that yet, but I can. I 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.000 can kind of visualize it, and especially when he puts 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.000 that smile on. You know, we love when he's smiling 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.600 and he's worked. He works so hard to get to 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.000 that point. And you know the other thing too, Jeff, 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:30.760 is you'll see it on tape when you watch it. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.599 I'm sure you've seen it. But at the end of 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.400 the game there when we're in four minute, I mean 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.800 he's running down the sideline with tight ends on the 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:42.160 Detroit sideline after a handoff and being there just in 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.800 case there's a fumble or blocking et cetera. I mean 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.520 that's rare. That's different, and I think it just shows, 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.800 you know, he's helping guys up after they get tackled, 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.040 like you don't see that very often. He did that. Well, 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.439 I forgot, frankly about the strip sack Harris had on 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.680 him and he goes and gets the I mean that's 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.240 twice now, but I forgot about that. That's now a 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.480 small thing. It's a big deal. You don't want them 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.600 to get hurt, though, but that's a that's a that's 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.480 not a small thing. Well, it's his reactionary. You know, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.960 he's still reactionary. And it's like he was laying on 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:12.680 the ground after he got hit and then he saw 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.040 the ball kind of fumbling and he just popped up 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.280 and went running for it. And then he's such a 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.000 natural athlete he just scooped it up and then got tackled. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.840 But that was a huge part of the game. And 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:26.240 so where will you take this quarterback thing this week? Yeah, 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.880 so you know we know that with with Andy right now, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.440 he's working through his his injury, and so the next 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.000 couple of days here today tomorrow, we'll give us a 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.319 good ideas as to where he's at, and then when 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.120 we get to Wednesday, we'll have a I think we'll 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.520 have a strong feeling as to as to where he's 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.120 at health wise, and then we got to go ahead 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.320 and see what that percentage is to make that decision. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.480 This league is humble you in a second, and it 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.480 did again yesterday because you're feeling good. David Montgomery just 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.320 killing it yesterday. That nine yard touchdown run is as 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.640 good as it gets. You know, this team loves David 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.640 mock Marie period, end of story. And then he gets 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.040 he gets the knee. Yeah. No, I mean he's such 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.040 a because it's easy to love somebody when they care 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.319 so much about others more than themselves. And I think 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.800 he's he's as selfless as he guess. All's the guy 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.400 wants to do is win. He doesn't care if he 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.800 has twenty carries for sixty yards. He just wants to win. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.640 And so, um, you know, we just got to see 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.240 where he's at and everything. Obviously, to hurt himself is tough. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.000 You hate to see that. Um, but he has he 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.360 has a great spirits and you know he can still 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.360 be a leader and we'll see where that goes. But man, 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.200 he's he's having a heck of a start of the season, 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.680 and a good job by Damian Williams as well. He 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.080 got dinged up a little bit, but hopefully that's good 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.480 because that's that's a good one two punch. I mean, 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.600 as you know nowadays, it looks like that's uh, that's 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.360 the running back backfield djour in the league. He got 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.200 some rare exceptions out there, but I have two is helpful, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.280 no doubt. And Damian's one a wonderful job too, being 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.280 able to understand kind of his role. And they've they've 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.600 built a phenomenal relationship. They taught, they've been teaching Khalil 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.000 Herbert a lot of great stuff. So it's a it's 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.800 you know that that was one of our you know, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.000 running back room was somewhere where we had a lot 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.400 of depths, and now you know, we see where it's at. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.440 But again we have a lot of trust in Damien 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.000 as well. Snap plate fake, Nope, they'd hand it off. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.000 Montgomery cutting inside, dodging one tackler, still on his feet 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.080 as he rumbles, and he's in till the end zone 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.720 for the touchdown. That's all David Montgomery. That his second 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.280 effort nine yards far side of the end zone. Touchdown. Bears. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.920 Come watch the Bears game at Sal's Pizza Pub and 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.880 Sports and Lombard this Sunday at this week's official Miller 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.800 Like Chicago Bears Watch Party. Visit Chicago Bears dot com 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.400 Slash fan Zone Slash Watch Parties for more info. David 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.480 Montgomery his second touchdown or run in a twenty four 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.920 or fourteen win over the Detroit Lions. I believe, now 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.280 ten touchdowns in his last nine games, Matt and five 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.959 one hundred yard efforts in his last ten games. Um, 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.760 you'd love to keep that momentum going. We'll see what 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.360 the injury is. But again, that touchdown run, it was 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.800 symbolic of what the whole day was. When you start 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.319 a game with a three tight end set and a 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.959 one back and I think he went tight end on 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.040 twenty nine, multiple tight end snaps in the fifty seven. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.840 I mean, that's a mentality you were you were going 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.240 to happen on this day. Yeah, That's that's exactly right, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.040 and that's uh, that mentality is a part of it. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.080 And that run that you're talking about, you know, David 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.480 goes ahead and he makes that first guy miss and 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.480 then he gets to to about the five yard line 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.920 and now it's just a just a bunch of just 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.280 a bunch of guys, big guys in there, and just 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.320 the legs are turning. Guys are in there, like you said, 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.640 Mooney and James and and um, you know, I'm just 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.480 all the old lineman pushing it. And for five yards 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.360 they just pushed the pile in there. And I think 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.000 that was kind of the mentality that we had going 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.920 into yesterday. And and when you can get a run 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.480 from the nine yard line for a touchdown, those are 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.000 always beautiful. I think you had nine nine plush yard 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.200 carries and you got the explosives, and that allowed you 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.960 to get first downs, move the chains. Twenty first downs overall, 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.120 and some really good work done across the board. We 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.600 got to talk to defense. Now. I don't know if 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.480 you realize this, but the Bears leave the NFL and 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.600 sex yeah, no, well I feel it, and I do 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.640 realize it because I think right now when you put 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.240 on the tape and you see what those guys are 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.840 doing that front seven, Um, that's that's what we love. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.360 I mean, between ninety four and fifty two off the 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.320 edge that D line up front of the linebackers flying 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.800 around different games and stunts. Um that I love it, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.720 and that's that's a great stat to have because what 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.480 that's going to do is help out that back end. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.960 And then now that they know that, you know, you're 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.880 putting pressure front seven on the quarterback. Now the dbs 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.680 are able to go play fast and do some things. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.840 So continue to get takeaways and turnovers, but there's sacks 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.080 or game changing. The team goes out on the first 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.840 snap on a groin, but the other sixty some snaps, 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.480 the defense did what it did. Yeah, a little bit 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.080 of run in the in the beginning of the game 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.320 with Jamal Williams, but the ben no breaks, stopping plays, 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.480 making clutch stops in the passing games as well as 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.080 the running game and getting to golf. How significant is 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.920 to again, maybe be without him a while that those 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.720 guys were able to step in and still play at 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.560 a high level. Yeah, So you know, our Kim is 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.120 such a big part of our defense, and he's such 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.560 a big man that that offense has got to know 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.160 where he's at on every play. I mean, even on 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.880 the play that he got hurt. The first play, I mean, 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.400 he made a great play on the running back and 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.640 you feel that it's a vicious tackle. It's a it's 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.400 just vicious because he's such a you know, large human 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.240 being and plays with such intensity. So um, well, you know, 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.720 we'll see where that goes. But uh, it's other guys 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.720 got to step up. And that's what you know. We 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.880 do have depth at that defensive line, and we got 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.280 some young guys too, So Coach runs will do a 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.560 good job of getting him right. Coach Socile put him 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.280 in the right spots, and the other guys got to 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.320 step up to help out. He has a big loss 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.640 with team when he's not in the game, no question 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.640 about it. Eddie Goldman. So you watch the tape, what 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.600 you see. Yeah, again, he played about thirty four to 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.040 thirty five snaps and I think it was really good 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:00.680 for him just to be able to get into that 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:04.080 football shape again. And you know, Eddie, I've said it 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.800 since I've been here. Eddie, probably more than any player 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.640 in the NFL, is one of the more underrated players 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.600 that makes plays without making plays, you understand, you know 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.640 what I mean. So he's out there making plays by 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.719 maybe getting double teams they're creating, making somebody step up 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.920 or run a certain way. Now now a guy gets 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.359 a tackle, and I think yesterday the biggest thing for 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.800 us was and for him was number one his health, 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.560 his conditioning, and then just being a good teammate out there, 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.879 which he is. So that's very, very important, and I 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.520 thought he did a great job. Alec old Tree killed 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.280 it yesterday. Man. I think he had ten solo tackles. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.320 I don't know what you guys have him as a staff, 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.760 but out of the twelve, ten were solo stops in 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.600 that big play probably prevented a touchdown getting his hand 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.400 up there and the vertical leap to getting the path 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.480 of the past that Goff had clearly set for Dandre Swift. Yeah, 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.520 that was huge. I mean there's one guy you know 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.399 that that that. I mean, there was a there was 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.800 a bunch yesterday, but the forty four kept popping out 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:01.760 all over the place and making a big place too, 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.120 And so I think we might have had him down 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.440 as as around thirteen or fourteen tackles, one tackle for loss, 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.359 a pass breakup. What you just talked about. That pass 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.359 breakup is huge. I mean he's so long levered that 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.520 like when the ball came up, he just he got 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.159 just enough on it to tip because that might have 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.680
