Coming up, Bear 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.839 Special Teams Coordinator Chris Tabor. He'll be joining the program 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.559 at around seven thirty And as I always are, brought 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.160 to you by Whipplee, CPAs and Consultan's Matt good evening. 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.600 Congratulations again, and you know, as odd as this is 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.760 going to sound, at week six, Week seven, the Bears 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.240 are in first place. That's not the oddity. The oddity 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.360 is you control your own destiny. Right now, honestly, six 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.000 weeks into the season, you're in first place in the 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.839 NFC North And that's just the facts, man, That's exactly right, Jeff. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.679 And I think that's what's so really really cool for 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.080 our team to understand is that, hey, this is just 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.640 the start, but it's so important to be able to 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.040 put yourself, you know, in a position to where you 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.800 do control your own destiny in the end essentially. And 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.399 so they're really sticking together in these games. And hey, 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.280 there's a lot of these games that have been tough, 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.560 they've been hard, they're sometimes hard to watch, but what 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.640 our guys are doing is they're fine ways to win. 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.319 And I think right now what's happening as a team 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.679 is we're building a little bit of an identity as 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.160 a team forget offensive, especially as a team. We're kind 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.240 of figuring out that, hey, this is where we can 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.280 roll through adversity like we can go now. It doesn't 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.920 matter what hits us, We're gonna stick together. And that's powerful. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.840 So as you feel the same kind of frustration maybe 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.200 for somebody watching it or listening to it, you know, 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.720 and things aren't going well, how are you managing that 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.440 because I'm sure your blood's up at time or two. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.560 Not to mention some of the calls that didn't go 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.160 our way, you know, in terms of those past interference 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.240 penalties and whatnot. No, you're right, I mean the competitor 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.640 in all of us is to make sure that we 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.120 are just trying to be as close to perfect as 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.200 you can be. And then when I talk about offense, 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.000 you know, you get to a point where, okay, hey, listen, 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.399 now we try to make an adjustment in the game 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.040 yesterday of being able to go a little bit more 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.320 tempo and just kind of break the monotony of where 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.840 we were with the flow of the game and the rhythm. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.080 And so it's for different reasons it hasn't been where 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.320 we want it, but at the same point in time, 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.600 when you look back and you say, okay, in the 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.400 first half, we had an eleven play drive. You know, 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.840 we st on three or four possessions. We had a 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.280 touchdown in the red zone after a sudden change on 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.919 defense with the intersection. You know, in the second half 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.040 we had two ten play drives. We had a touchdown 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.320 that took four and thirty seconds and another field goal 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.240 that took ten. So there are some positives, and I 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.239 think that's what keeps you going is now saying, Okay, 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.399 when we fix the end of the game third and three, 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.399 third and two, and when we convert those or we 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.800 don't have the issues with the time out in the 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.760 delayed game on the first possession, you get that corrected, 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.120 it feels a lot better. And at one point in 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:19.960 time in that game, we were up twenty to six, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.959 you know, and so it could have been twenty eight 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.959 to six, twenty seven to six, and it feels even 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.560 more different. So we know we're close. We love being 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.359 five or one. We know we can be a lot better. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.240 But that's that's excite. There were twenty six snaps yesterday 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.960 with three receiver, one tight, a one back and you 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.160 know it was a rob and it was Anthony Miller 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.400 and it was a darnel money. You had eighteen passes 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.200 and eight runs and you average seven point oh eight 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.040 yards of play and five point seven five yards to carry. 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.840 So that's does that give you an indication yet? Okay, 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.480 that's a lot of good snaps right there in that 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.360 personnel grouping. And do you use that as a place 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.360 to start. Yeah, Well, you know you know where a 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.480 lot of that came, Jeff. Was a lot of that 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.240 was when we we went a little bit more tempo 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.640 in that personnel, and you could feel that there in 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.119 the second half. On those runs we had a run 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.400 for five or run for eleven, or run for twelve 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.200 or run for zero, a run for nine and a 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.880 run for two, So that's what you're feeling when you 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.080 say that, and then vice versa. When we weren't that, 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.359 we had a run for minus one or run for 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.920 one or run for minus one. So you feel a 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.279 little bit of that. And some of those personnel's, Jeff, 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.600 are the same as what you just mentioned, the eleven personnel, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.040 So there's just a little bit of a rhythm to it. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.920 And when you do get those runs that put you 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.240 in second in three, second and two or first and ten, 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.599 you can get in a rhythm and you can mix 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.880 it up and do some play ashes, etc. So it's 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.040 just a matter of doing that probably a little bit earlier, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.080 and how we can get to it. But the guys 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.240 went there, and again I'm just gonna keep harpening going 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.040 back to when it would be one thing if these 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.840 guys didn't care, if they didn't care but they do, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.719 and that's the part that we know by sticking together, 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.200 we're gonna be all right. Yeah, Nick Foles definitely is 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.400 one of those guys leading that way for you. And 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.240 his news conference yesterday was compelling and I think every 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.760 Bears fan that would have heard it would feel really 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.640 good about what's in store for this team because he 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.599 brought up things that you just did about the culture. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.200 He's thrilled to be here, he feels honored to be 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.480 with this organization right now, and he was all jacked 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:22.200 up after the game win aside admitted where the difficulties were, Yeah, 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.000 I shouldn't have thrown that ball and learned from it. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.920 But overall, just imagine what this will look like down 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.560 the road. That's what I think is really really going 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.880 to be important for all of us to understand, is 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.560 just that. And you know I saw that yesterday. You know, 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.479 I heard about how good he did and what he 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.520 was saying because it was so real and so authentic. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.599 And so when you watch it and you see how 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.599 organic it was, that's who he is and that's what 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.600 that's the way he handles certain situations with his teammates 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.400 offense and defense, special teams but when you feel that 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.520 and you understand that we as a team, players and coaches, 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.479 we all understand where we're at right now on offense. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.400 And it's not for lack of effort. It's it's just 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.640 a matter of okay, when we do get this thing 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.080 going with the way our defense is playing, it's it's 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.320 better to be having to go this way and only 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:14.960 get better than it is to go the other way 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.360 where you start out really hot and all of a 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.799 sudden you go the other way. So we're just keeping 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.039 things in perspective, and I think, uh, you know, you 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.719 know me, Jeff, and you understand that how how how 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.360 what we believe here, and that's that's staying very very positive, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.240 and when when bad things happened, it's okay, next play mentality, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.440 let's roll, let's stick together, and that's what we're doing. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.080 I still feel strongly too, that it's now a large 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.800 sample size because it's happened throughout your three years and 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.560 many of these guys have been with you for this long. Uh. 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.920 Winning tight games definitely, as you say, callous you and 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.360 builds character and they do pay off in December and January. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.760 I really believe that without a doubt I mean, and 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.240 you know where that helps you is when when it 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.280 matters the most, which is when you try to get 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.599 to the to the deal at the end. There you know, 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.760 to be able to get into that deal at the end, 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.840 you know you can, you can say it, you can 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.200 say what it is, the deal at the end we 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.680 get there, that's when it matters most because you've been 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.240 through those you've been you've been tested, right, you've been 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.280 You've been through those obstacles and we've accepted it. So 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.640 now think about where how that can help us mentally, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.640 um and then knowing that it's we've been there, done that. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.200 And when you have that, you got a team that's 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.240 very resilient and persistent and keeps going six together, it's 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.440 hard to stop. And that's that's kind of where we're 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.679 Atting the Bears Coaches Show with head coach Matt Maggie 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:36.520 and WBBM's Jeff Joniac continues, fules throws, build the end zone, 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:41.160 then tight coverage cut for the touchdown touchdown. Cole come 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.080 at touchdown, Bears they lead at six nothing. Here on 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.080 the first first cammer touchdown for Notre Dames, Cole commet 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.600 the local product, who I learned from an article by 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.920 Dan Wider or the Chicago Tribune that uh, Mama Commet 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.120 was in the stands watching it there down in Carolina. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.800 So there were fans there and you felt that their 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.440 presence a little bit. I couldn't tell calling it from 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.960 from a television screen what it was like, but I 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.600 heard there was a lot of chanting going on. But 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.400 you know, from mom to be there to see son 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.040 going catch his first NFL touchdown and what a play 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.480 it was, both throwing catch. That's pretty cool. Yeah, there's 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.360 without that show. They'll always remember that one. And yeah, 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.480 I just think back to the data we drafted Cole 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.480 and his family in the living room and how excited 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.640 they were. So I can only imagine what that would 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.960 have been like for her to be there to see 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.960 her her son's first NFL catch. I mean, it just 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.400 gives you chills. And it was a really, really good catch. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.559 It was well contested, they were in a good coverage 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.160 and so that's good. That's a good way to get 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.400 started for him and hopefully we'll see a lot more 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.240 of those in his career. All right, let's talk about 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.760 the defense. Hard fought again. This is a character driven unit. 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.000 I believe as well. They're feeling the roads right now. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.560 Three takeaways, four sacks. But on the big plays, the 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.960 splash plays, I numbered ten or eleven players had a 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.319 hand in it. It's not just the guy making the play. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.360 There are ten or eleven guys. Fact, five guys had 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.160 a hand in those four sacks for example. Um, that 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.400 tells you that they're swarming and they're playing at the ball. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.640 And the type of coverage yesterday was significant because I 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.559 kept watching tape of the last couple of games with 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.880 the Panthers and seeing these in cuts crossers and they 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.040 have the speed to break away and rip off big 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.800 yards after the catch. That wasn't happening. No, it wasn't it. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.920 And just like you said it was. It was that 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.120 some of the stunts and the defensive line movement that 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.560 we had, the linebackers were playing fast and it just 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.400 in the back end. It helped our guys out so 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.680 much and they do a lot of good, good things. 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.280 They have speed on offense in Carolina, and I thought 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.600 that really they had. They had a couple of drives 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.240 where they had, you know, thirteen fourteen play drives, but 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.000 they ended in field goals and That's what we've been 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.960 doing all year long, is being able to mean, you know, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.240 contain them and make them kick three points instead of 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.480 getting that touchdown. So overall, everybody flew around. I mean, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.600 Eddie Jackson right now is having an unblieable Sea season. 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.200 He's flying around very very oppert gandistic. I mean, punching 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:05.120 that ball out. Obviously, had that touchdown taken away, which 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.440 is a part of the game. But they're they're just 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.560 all rolling right now. They're they're they're in a really 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.800 good place. Coach Bagana's putting him in a good place, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.959 and they're just feeding off of each other. I think 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.880 a lot of these guys are feeding off Kyle Fuller's physicality. 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.360 He's really hitting people hard and they're not getting anything 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.440 after the catch. Obviously, when you play aggressively, and I 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.760 think you'd prefer they play aggressively, and if they're going 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.720 to be a flag or two, you know, you gotta 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.880 deal with it. But because it is really it really 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.560 is harder to find what passion interferences right now. But 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.160 I'll take the shoulder to the chest any day. If 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.160 it's going to be a fifty fifty decision, I'll go 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.040 with that, wouldn't you? Yeah, absolutely, I think the Kyle's 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.640 he's really having a great season, playing very physically. He's smart, 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.679 he watches so much tape, so he's able to have 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.760 great He already has great instincts, but now he can 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.840 really use everything that hit all his knowledge that he 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.719 takes into it. So being able to fall off in 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.319 his own and hit a shallow cross guy like that 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.920 another one. It's it's it's hard to be able to 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.400 criticize the guy that's playing tough like that and playing physical. 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.600 So it is what it is, and Kyle's great. He 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.200 handled it awesome and he's gonna keep that going though. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.040 All right, how about you guys up front? Every one 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.760 of those defensive linemen, between some of the games that 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.240 they do with the twists and stunts, they're really I 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.040 can't just sing a while one because they were all 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.160 doing a lot of good stuff. And then along with 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.240 those outside linebackers, you know, with with with Khalil that 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.160 from the very first play of the game, Kalil makes 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.679 a heck of a play on the run, dips inside 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.200 and makes the play. And then I thought that Robert 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.720 Quinn the entire game, his motor was going one hundred 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.280 miles an hour and that's why he's here. So he 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.360 affected the game. He affected the quarterback, and then Vaughters 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.160 and Mingo again you felt them too, So the four 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.880 of them really put together a great game along with 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.199 his d Lineman. We knew this was coming. We felt 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.120 it was coming, we heard it from him, and now 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.600 six weeks in, we're feeling real. Kuan Smith, you talk 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.800 about feeling, how about that play sniffing out the screen 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.800 where he created the leverage by just dipping out it 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.280 would not he would not be blocked, and that play 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.360 was sighting. That's a great play right there, firing his gun, 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.240 He's like a missile. That's not you know, you've been 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.080 seeing it all year, man, he's been He's been making 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.960 those plays on those screens. And what I thought was 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.959 so important at that point in time was he made 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.720 a He not only made that tackle, but he you know, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.120 keeping them in bounds to keep that clock rolling. We're 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.200 very very important too. So he's playing at a very 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.520 high level. I love his confidence. Coach da Leone is 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.560 getting those guys going. Danny Trevizi yesterday played I think 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.080 his best game in the season. I think you really 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.240 felt him. So those two guys combined with everybody else 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.400 on d it's there. You know you really like it. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.000 You made a decision to go with Rochette Coward at 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.680 left guard instead of Alex Bars. Is that what you wanted? 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.800 A more physical presence at this time? And how did 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.120 you think that all worked out? No, they're they're both 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.320 physical players, and you know, Rochette has a little bit 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.600 more experience and he's doing they're both doing really well 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.800 in practice, you know, leading up in training camps as backups, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.960 and now they get an opportunity. So I think Shad 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.120 would tell you that there's a couple plays yesterday that 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.000 he could have been a little bit better apt But 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.480 we're foolish if we all think that he's going to 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.600 come in here and just be perfect on every single stime. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.960 That's just not realistic and it's not fair to the kids. 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.640 So you just have to minimize those right when it 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.480 do happen, you have to minimize him, and then he's 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.720 got to learn from those, and he will, and then 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.160 you just continue to keep learning from your coach. Coach 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.520 Castile in practice the rest of it this weekend and 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.760 can you improve and be the best guy you can 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.760 beat for the end of the season. No more of 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.839 the Bears Coaching Show with head coach Matt Maggie on 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.440 News Way Too seven eighty and one oh five point 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.560 nine FM w BBM snapped up Ridgewater it as he 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.080 throws near your site. Broke it up, editors up, get 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.240 on the tip, hit side of the ten head take 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.319 it out of botonds on the near sideline. It is 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.480 intercepted by to Shaun Gibson. Shaun Gibson with his twenty 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.319 fifth career interception, Jalen Johnson getting his hand in there 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.640 to create the breakup and the deflection of the hands 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.600 up to Sean Gibson. So it's one thing to get 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.960 the ball and you're defending a player, but another to 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.000 be in the area code which Eddie Jackson and to 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.679 Shaun Gibson clearly are thinking. A tremendous offseason pick up 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.960 for Deshaun Gibson. Um, this was his m O. And 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.080 these are the kind of plays, a lot of deflective 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.520 passes here in the last few recent weeks. And that's 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.760 a sign that you guys are still continuously and specifically 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.280 making plays on the ball. Yeah, they are. They're they're 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.920 they're anticipating the throws and then when you just get 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.080 those those PBUs those pass breakups, ball goes up in 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.840 the air and uh. And now you got ball hawks 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.320 back there with two safeties that are just they roam 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.240 around man and they know where to go and they're 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.920 at the right spot at the right time. All right. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.800 Back on special team's Cairo Santos really kicked well there 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.000 in Carolina for you as a Kansas City chief. He 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.280 had four field goals in one game and an overtime win. 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.840 I don't know if you remember that one I kicked one. 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.920 I guess as time expired, and so clearly comfort zone 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.400 for him in a fifty five yard or in a 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.120 comfort zone for you to get him try that one. 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.520 That was big. Yeah, it was. It was neat to 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.360 see him hit that fifty five yarder. You know you 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.560 could you could feel a little bit of the breeze 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.680 going left right there for for that. So I felt 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.240 real confident from from fifty five and just had to 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.960 go straight and he did it. The offense well continues 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.760 to grow. You continue to get more comfortable Nick with 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.760 the offense, you working with him, working with players more 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.720 and more figure out more of what works, what doesn't, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.520 what in your opinion, needs to improve first, to kind 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.320 of set the platform for it to build and grow on. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.720 What I would say when you ask that is is 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.440 right now is collectively for all of us, and I 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.360 know I've been saying it for a few weeks now, 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.200 but for all of us to just do our job, 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.400 you know. And when I say that, you know, if 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.360 that's in the run game, calling a run at the 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.880 right time by myself right, by mean being able to 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.080 have the exact footwork and path by the running back, 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.440 the old line communicating and making their double teams up 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.880 to the mic linebacker on the same time that everybody 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.760 else is doing the same blocks. Whether it's in pass protection, 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.280 you know, are we are they just dropping off and 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.400 they're having a four man rush and we're protecting in 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.800 a play action pass and we we take the check 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.440 down for gimme. Sometimes it's just the little things that 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.520 you know, it might not be a forty yard pass play, 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.320 it might get a checkdown, but you just doing the 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.040 little things and doing your job, we'll get this thing 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.560 back on track. And the reason why I feel confident 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.200 about that is because of the styles of personalities that 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.560 we have, the leaders that we have on the offensive 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.440 side of the ball, they're they're grown men. They understand 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.840 that and they care and that's that's the starting point. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.560 Penalties tie for most in the league right now. Is 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.520 this a problem for you? Yeah? I mean it does it. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.920 The last several weeks, it's felt like there's been a 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.240 lot of penalties, and that's a you know, we gotta 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.520 make sure that we're doing everything we can to lead 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.960 to learn from them and why are they happening. Yesterday 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.640 we had a couple of substitution issues and those those 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.520 gotta you know, you gotta eliminate those as you can't 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.360 have those um and we gotta just know the why part, 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.080 and then we got to do our job as coaches 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.760 to make sure that we bring it up to the 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.360 players so that they can eliminate them. All right. I 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.280 think it was in the preseason or maybe uh right 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.840 before it, you said team flights this year. You did 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.080 it once last year. You're gonna walk around the plane, 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.040 You're gonna talk to people front to back. Are you 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.439 doing that? And it's been beneficial and you indicated in 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.639 your press conference earlier today with the media that it 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.639 was a fun ride home. I've been on a lot 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.560 of team flights. It's usually, you know, even win or lose, 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.919 everybody says always a crazy and there it's not a party. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.880 I mean, people are working on the iPads, they got 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.840 their headsets on. But you kind of indicated that maybe 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.159 it was a little different last night. Yeah, you know, 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.480 it wasn't. It wasn't that it was different, and it 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.480 was just that there's a there's a really good sense 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.920 and there's a feel right now of where we're at 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.120 and understanding. You know, six games and we won five 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.439 and you need to be able to position yourself the 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.919 right way. But also, Jeff, what I think is probably 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.840 more important and why we're at and why we are 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.560 the way we are as a team is you know, 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.560 some teams can be really happy and content with being 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.600 five or one and just all of a sudden, you know, 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.480 they're just okay, right, they're just even kill. The reason 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.560 why I get insighted is from the converse stations last 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.800 night on that plane is that we know there's a 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.480 lot more ahead of us. We know there's a lot 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.040 more room for improvement. And so when you know that, 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.359 how do you not get fired up? About that, and 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.280 so we're in a good We're in a good spot. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.800 We got a great challenge ahead of us this week 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.080 going to LA They're a really good football team and 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.040 they're well coached, so it's gonna be a big challenge, 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:20.920 and we just got to keep doing what we're doing, 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:22.399
