Jeff Joniak here with you until eight 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.080 o'clock tonight on news Radio one oh five nine w BBM. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.440 We recapped the twenty three twenty win over the Houston 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.080 Texans at Soldier Field and gave me man, how you doing. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:45.880 I'm doing well. Hey, thanks for giving me a shout 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.600 out today at the news conference this afternoon, head to 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.680 do it. I hear my name echoing, I go, I 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.760 can't be good, can't be good. But it was. We'll 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.600 tell you about it later as to why at the 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.680 news conference. But that's the first time my name's ever 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.720 been mentioned at a head coaching NewsCap. Well, we're gonna 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.680 do it. Oh, I don't think you get a weekly 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.560 of that, that's for sure. All right, let's get to 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.920 the game. The name of the game is resiliency right now, right, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.440 And that's probably true for most of the thirty two 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.240 teams in the league. I'll give you some numbers later 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.759 as to why. But resiliency is necessary to get a win. Yeah, 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.440 there's no doubt, you really do. You got to be 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.920 strong in the fourth quarter, and you know, certainly in 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.080 the second half. You know, they're all you know, decided 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.080 by one score or less. You know, it comes down 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.440 to that. So you know, the guys know that, and 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.000 we've been working really hard at that. You know, it's 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.400 really how we practice. You know, our mental and physical 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.440 stamina is good, and it's how we practice every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.520 It's it's what we built upon, you know, during training camp, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.040 and the guys are able to execute down the stretch. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.160 You know, that's almost like a fuel tank. You know, 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.240 you get that on full to have that, But when 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.360 it's not on full, will you tell us that too? 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.600 When you know, and something like that, you just didn't 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.760 feel like the week was good and it showed up 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.480 on a Sunday. Yeah, I mean, you know, I thought 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.080 we had a good week of practice. You know, it 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.480 was physical on Wednesday, and that showed in the running game. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.080 I'm both. You know, we ran the ball obviously very 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.840 well on offense and that's all eleven of us, and 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.360 then we stopped to run better on defense. You know, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.840 we were at a three point seven you know goal. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.800 We got three point eight for the game. But yeah, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:14.679 that's all eleven of us there too, So we thought 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.040 we tackled better. That was a big emphasis for the 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.200 game going into it. Not where it needs to be yet, 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.839 but it certainly we tackled lower and we tackled better 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.880 during the course of the game. Is it ever perfect? 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.919 It can be real close. Yeah, that's what we're searching. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.240 You've had some of those games, huh yeah, where yet 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.720 it must just be euphoric for a head coach who 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.079 who is hammering that nail all the time for a 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.080 moment like that in a game, well, it says a 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.560 lot about the coaches. You know. The coaches worked tirely 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.880 to get that done during the course of the week, 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.840 make those corrections and to get better as a football team. 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.640 And that's what we need to do every week. You know, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.519 we need to improve every single week. You know, going forward, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.880 how's the crowd for you? You gave him a treat 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:54.600 at the end there on real Quant's pick and the 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.480 field goal to walk off win. The place went crazy 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.080 for that. But overall, you know, it was a patient 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.360 game for a fan towards Yeah, the fans that the 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.799 fans have been great. You know Chicago Bear fans there, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.560 they are very intelligent and man, they get loud when 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.680 they need to get loud. And we're excited about having 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.600 you know, that environment at home, you know, and certainly 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.359 excited about being two and oh at home. So creating 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.640 a home field advantage for ourselves, right, because you're getting 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.080 a road here for a bit. I know you do 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.000 one at a time, but there's a whole chunk of 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.400 road games coming up for you. Yeah, and that's the 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.840 same really the same preparation for us. And we feel 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.519 a lot of times you get a little bit more 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.799 time on a road game because you got that travel 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.080 spot in the hotel and you have some more mental 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.520 preparations you can get done there during that time. So 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.080 I mentioned that I pull out this stat but two 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.680 and one through three weeks in a season where eighteen 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.720 games already in the league have been decided by three 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.360 points or less this season. That's the most in NFL 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.160 history through three games. Did you know that's dead? I 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.240 did not, but I certainly know it by living it. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.400 You know, it's it is always that way, and that's 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.760 why you have to be good in situational ball. Offenses 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.680 are not scoring a lot of points. It's down five 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.080 percent overall. I don't know watching these things, but the 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.400 NFL certainly chunks out that information every every Monday and 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.640 after the game's on Sunday, so implying to me that 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.800 the idea of having these type of games is exactly 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.280 what the NFL loves because it keeps everybody's interest from 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.440 the first kickoff to the final gun. Yeah, that's the 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:21.960 way it is. That's the way it goes, you know. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.200 I remember back in twenty twenty, this scoring was sue 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.320 the roof, you know, so you know, we couldn't tell 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.560 if it was the crowd noise or what it might be, 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.760 but certainly that season was a little bit different than 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.800 this one started out all right, Well, you know, it 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.440 takes time first quarter of the season anyway, with the 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.760 training camps as they are now, do you buy into 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.560 that at all? Just in terms of both offense and defense. Yeah, 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.200 talk about tackling. I mean we talk teams are always 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.600 upset about tackling in the first quarter of the year, right, 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.240 you know, And I think it's you know, if it's predictable, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.880 it's preventable, you know. And that's what coach Rods always say. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.800 So we got to do a better job of working 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.159 that in. And I think, are you know, playing the 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.000 preseason games helped us out, you know, to get us 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.480 to a bigger, you know, better spot than if we 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.479 wouldn't have played in those games, for sure. All Right, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.280 two eighty one, two hundred eighty one yards rushing the 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.560 football most here since nineteen eighty four. That predates the 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.839 Bear Super Bowl team, and they ran the ball a 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.000 lot and at a great success rate. But that's that's 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.280 impressive no matter how you slice it. Yeah, that's it's 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.320 a historic I mean, you think about it, that's a 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.080 lot of years between you know, now and then, for sure. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.440 But man, that's a great job by everybody involved. I mean, 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.040 you know, we had a bunch of big runs, you know, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.400 which you need to have that to get that number, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.120 and everybody was involved. I mean, the receivers blocking on 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.600 the perimeter, the tight ends blocking, um, the lineman jump 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.360 into the second level to get to the linebackers and 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.680 push them by the pile. And then you know Herbert 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.840 making those you know, great cuts and um. It was 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.960 it was all everybody involved and it was it was 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.400 something to watch. It's empowering to see you win the 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.360 line of scrimmage in that regard, isn't it. I mean, 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.840 players love that. I mean that bore him on the 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.080 touchdown run, cleared his guy from right tackle all the 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.479 way to the sidelines. I mean it's like out of 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.680 a movie, putting a guy on the bench. I mean 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.479 that that play blocked up had to be. Yeah, we 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.960 showed that. I saw the play in the team meeting today, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.599 you know, because we show all usually show all the 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.720 touchdowns and explosive plays, and then we showed the takeaways 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.400 and all that in that meeting. But man, I highlighted 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.560 a bunch of guys in there. Both tackles, you know, 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.599 obviously he said, Larry pushed the dB down on the ground, 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.320 and then you know the Braxon came up and finished 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.240 and really had the touchdown one. And then if you 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.240 look at uh Sam, Sam had a great seal block. Yeah, 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.359 and that that was excellent too. So there's a lot 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.719 of good blocking on that particular play and obviously a 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.000 great run. Heck blasting game also got to put him 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.320 in there. Uh, Braxton Jones, he had two cracks at 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.200 him because he kept going he finished. Yep. That's the 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.159 definition to finish right there. And we want to be 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.800 strong finishers and and that's how we practice. Who want 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.080 to you know, start fast and finished strong and everything 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.360 we do and those guys proved it on that play. Montgomery, 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.240 I think eleven snaps housy today, like mentally because I 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.679 know this means everything to him. He's the team's important 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.600 to him. What he does on the field is important 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.360 to him. And it happened on a play when he 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.120 wasn't even running the football is yea. He's very passionate 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.600 about this football team and about his teammates. And you 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.240 know he's he's this that way. What a great worker 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.800 he is, what a great teammate he is. And you know, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.320 certainly being injured, you know, you know he's done a 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.760 little bit about that, but he's he's he'll turn the 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.080 corner right now. It's day to day. We'll see where 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.920 he is on Wednesday going forward and the rest of 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.960 the week and then we'll go from there. But Herbert 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.920 certainly took the baton. Uh. And this is somebody we 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.280 got familiar with last year when David was out. He 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.680 led the NFC and rushing for four weeks that he 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.840 was in there. So excellent runner. What do you love? Yeah, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.000 he's he's a little bit different style. I mean, he's 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.400 very smooth. Um. You know, he's obviously he gets North, 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.040 you know, right away, and he's he has the ability 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.800 to hit the home run. You know, That's that's what's 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.040 great about him. Um. I love his style. And he's 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.040 a he's a really good pass protector too, which is 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.360 which is awesome thing to have for to be able 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.760 to do both.

Welcome back 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.800 to the Bears Coaches Show here on News Radio one 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.960 h five nine w BBM with Bears head coach Matt 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.640 eberflus great seats available to see her Chicago Bears this 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.200 season at Soldier Field. Get your tickets at Chicago Bears 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:35.080 dot com slash tickets. The pick, great read, came downhill 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.280 with a real purpose, and heck maybe if it wasn't 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.720 tipped by Alan General Blackson, he still might have picked 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.400 that ball off because he had a he had a 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.280 beat on it, didn't he Yeah, it was. It was 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.240 really a good play. Um. You know, we were in 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.120 his own coverage there and he just read it and 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.400 broke and and I really believe he probably would have 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.439 picked it off no matter what. And uh, um, what 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.240 a great play at a great moment, you know. And 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.160 he's a he's an impactful player. Um, certainly had a 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.280 great game. You know, the sixteen tackles, you know, and 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.640 that great interception. You know, some TFLs and he was 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.559 all over the field and he's in that well positioned 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.800 for us, and that's a hot spot in our defense 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.720 and you need a playmaker there and he certainly was that. 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.400 You know. Uh, he hummed the ball into the south 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.400 end zone. I mean he must have thrown a mile 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.240 A little gift for the fans but he just let 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.000 out a lot of emotion. He's probably got a lot 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.760 of pent up feeling for a variety of reasons. But 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.880 he's constantly being compared though to other great players at 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.960 that position in this particular scheme. So yeah, he wants 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.280 he wants to deliver this kind of mail too. And 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.679 there's going to be more of this, isn't it, Because 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.680 the further he gets engrossed in this scheme and what 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.640 comes to him and what he creates, there's going to 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.280 be more big place here. Yeah, there's a lot of 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.160 places to be had in there, and he certainly got 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.200 to make him and he certainly did that in this 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.560 game for sure. And then we're excited about where he is. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.240 You know, he's growing in the defense, he's understanding where 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.600 he fits in the defense. You know, and I said 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.800 it last night. You know he's coming from a three four, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.320 you know, so it's a little bit more lateral. Um, 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.760 it's a little more take on and this is more run, 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.280 you know, it's more run, it's more speed, it's more playing, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.839 you know. You know, in front of the in front 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.560 of the lineman in front of that are penetrating and 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.280 you have to learn how to do that, and I 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.440 think he's learning as he goes. He's getting more comfortable 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.960 in that position for sure. Nicholas Morrow also had himself 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.600 a nice game. Six tackles. A big one on that 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.240 tackle for loss was third and six. Yes, that was 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.680 a big play, but coming out of there, that gave 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.640 that guy no chance to even get away. No, it 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.520 was a great reaction and I love the tackle, the 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.520 form tackle that he had on that and that's exactly 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:34.640 how we want to do it. And we're going to 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.559 use that for the rest of the team and the 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.920 rest of the guys to show the perfect tackle and 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.160 how you do that. But what a great reaction in 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.040 a big time play, in a big moment. I think 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.920 you and I talked about it the morning of the game. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.200 The proper way of I mean looking for more lower 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.080 tackles just like that. That is that by definition your 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.199 hamstring tackle. That is it right there. If you want 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.360 to see the definition or a video clip of it, there, 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.400 it is right there. That was awesome, awesome play right there. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.040 How about on the back in what how was your 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.520 analysis of that after watching table? Yeah, it was good. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:05.920 I think we give up a couple of plays that 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.880 we shouldn't have. Um, you know, we got to do 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.520 better back there on a couple of plays. Um, you know, 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.600 just communicating, you know, we did. We did a good 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.040 job overall tackling though. I really like the tackling. Um, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.920 it's not where it needs to be, but it has 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.280 gotten better. And we just got to keep getting on 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.199 the runners and keeping the cup, the big cup on 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.199 the ball, you know, the forced player, pursuit player and 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.079 apex players. And we're continuing to do that. But there'll 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.479 be an emphasis for this week. Are mental errors manageable 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.360 right now or are they still happening at a rate 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.959 that you're not comfortable with? Yeah? I think mental errors, 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.680 you know are always you want it very limited, you know. Um, 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.040 you know, if you're being realistic, usually less than five. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.600 If you have more than that, um, that's too many. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.199 And we're still working to get to that low number. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.400 So we have to continue to work on it, guys, 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.360 understanding the scheme, understanding what we're trying to get done, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.480 and it really comes down to how we practice. If 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.560 we practice you know, mental mental air free, we'll do 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.520 it in the game. First, all right, let's talk about 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.880 Kyler because he was in the focus a week ago. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.640 You worked with him this past week. Made a couple 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.440 of very nice plays too in the game. I know 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.000 that there was the one big pass play, but just 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.000 the instincts, the speed. If something goes wrong, it doesn't 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.880 seem like he's going in the tank for the rest 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.360 of the game. He's still making plays. The read on 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.839 that from the nickel slot to break up that short 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.560 throw over to Brandon Cooks. That's a big time. He's 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:22.959 doing a lot of good things and he's going to 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.839 build on the positive and that's what you have to do. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.960 And he's continue to do that and then make the 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.960 corrections and then learn from those and those experiences, these 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.880 heavens are invaluable. They are so good for him to 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.000 be able to learn from that. You know, he worked 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.520 a lot on his footwork last week in terms of 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.720 how his angles going into tackles and what his footwork 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.480 needs to be going into the tackles, and he improved 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.120 on that this week, and how to hamstring tackle at 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.920 the low and wrap strong and make those plays with 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.440 his feet on a play like that from the nickel slot. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.400 Since that play is everybody runs it, everybody tries to 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.360 get a little a receiver out there and try could 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.120 is that interceptible pass at some point it is. I've 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.160 seen it intercepted a couple of times. You know, usually 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.800 it's by tip you xally tippet and actually can catch 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.120 it that way. It's hard to catch it in the 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.920 first you know, in the first way. But we've certainly 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.040 seen it tipped and intercepted a couple times. All right, 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.320 let's talk Kendall vill Door. You know, you know Kendall 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.400 end Up, you know, great out pretty well. Um, he 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.719 made that very impactful play with Eddie picking that pass off. 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.240 We know, and we talked to him about how he's 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.920 got to get his hands right so he can pick 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.960 that pass off. But that got tipped up and Eddie 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.800 made that great interception to stop that score. Um, he 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.720 had a couple of pass breakups, did a nice job, 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.800 did a better job tackling as well. So you know, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.960 he had fifty eight plays in the game. So he 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.440 did play well stepping up into that role for sure. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.679 Now more of the Bears Coaches Show featuring Mattieberflus on 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.560 Hip Congo's news trafficking weather Station one oh five nine 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:50.079 w BBM snapping a toss right big hole. Herbert breaks 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.839 through thirty thirty, third, forty, pitched the gas with a 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.000 fifty angling up to the forty of the Texans, stiff 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.000 arm with stingley and he rolls them down. It'side. The 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.480 twenty five Welcome Back to the Bears Coaches show Khalil 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.800 Herbert the fifty two yard scamper. Typically on a big 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.960 run like that, I always say a crack turns into 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.880 a canyon and the way he goes, but there was 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.280 a canyon from the jump. What a what a running 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.960 lane for Khalil Herbert on that one. But you know 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.720 what I really loved about that play because you as 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.000 a coach, I was talking about finish, finish, It doesn't 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.280 matter what phase you're playing, like the final eight or 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.880 nine yards. Moves the ball from his right arm to 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.040 his left right used to he picked up eight or 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:27.920 nine extra yards on that. Yeah, no doubt, And that's 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.040 what we tell him to do. You know, if you 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.800 have the space to do it and you're not in traffic, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.480 go ahead and switch the arms, you know, bodyball boundary, 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.960 and then go ahead and use use that weapon that 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:37.920 you have, that stiff arm, and that it creates the 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.000 yards force and he did a great job with that. Again, 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.760 that was a pretty wide open hole. But um, you know, 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.960 the guys did a nice job of you know, run, 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.200 you know, varying your runs, you know inside outside. You know, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.200 when you do that as an offense man, it's hard 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.160 for the defense defend all those and they just got 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.440 it rolling. The best day running the football in the league. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.200 Buy a player Khalil Herbert twenty for one fifty having 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.280 in the two touchdowns only two negative runs, ten carries 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.920 for five yards or more. It almost seemed crazy to 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.240 think that. You know, at one point, I'm thinking, decond, 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.720 I get three hundred and fifty yards rushing the football. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.080 I mean I think one hundred and ninety yards of 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:19.680 those came before contact, which tells me that the guys 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.600 up front were doing their job. And you mentioned the receivers. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.720 You've got to talk about Equanimius Saint Brown. His blocking 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.280 has been really good, obviously a product of the system 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.600 that he was coming from what you're demanding as well. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.440 But if you could put all that in one big 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.440 pot and share with us what's going on there, Yeah, 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.560 it's just you know, you know, Tyke does an excellent 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.000 job of coaching these guys, you know, when the crack, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.120 when the stock and you know in how we do it, 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.880 and you know, you know, from Mooney to Saint Brown 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.920 to Pettist, you know, to Smith, all of them in there, 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.680 you know, doing a great job of sustaining their blocks. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.040 And that's not easy to do because a lot of 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.040 times they're cracking on bigger safeties, they're blocking linebackers and 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:57.760 it's just about the one too, you know, and then 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.120 the technique that the coaches are telling to do and 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.080 we got to practice that way, you know, and they 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.440 do and it's been really really good to see and 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.760 you have a really good we call those receivers. Those 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.200 are explosive playmakers, right, so they make them obviously, you 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:12.880 know in the passing game. We get chunk plays in 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.840 the passing game, but they also do it in the 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.840 running game. You know, they're so important position for us 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.880 to make explosive plays in the running game because that's 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.880 when it gets to the second level and that's when 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.120 we have to get those blocks on the perimeter. How 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:29.200 beneficial is blasting game proving to beat Kyrie? Blasting game 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.760 eleven snaps the first week thirteen, last week fifteen, This 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.120 week We told you last week folks that he had 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:36.840 when he was on the field one hundred and ten 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.600 yards of offense produced. It's it's got to be close 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.160 to another hundred yards yesterday and those fifteen he was 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:43.880 in there for a lot of big plays. Yeah, and 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.160 that's such an important thing on early downs to have 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.800 that fullback in there, and it changes, you know, if 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.360 you're in twenty two personnel or twenty one personnel and 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.960 you have that guy in there, it's it's a big 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.320 adjustment for the defense and you have to really work 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.320 on those run fits because not every team carries a fullback, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.920 you know, so you know only a few teams do 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.640 you know, and more and more are starting to go 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.359 back to it. But man, when you have that weapon 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.920 as a fullback, it creates a lot of situations for 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.960 the for the defense to handle. We got to talk 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.240 offensive line. They are grading out very high and the 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.000 run blocking, I know some studies say the past blocking 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.040 isn't what it needs to be or whatnot. And again, 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.720 these guys are growing. It is week week three together 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.920 and some young players on there. How would you assess 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.040 their development at this point? Yeah, Chris Morgan, you know 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.480 in Austin King do a great job with the offensive line. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.360 I mean, you know, I'm in some of those meetings 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.520
