Moving the 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.280 chains as we bring you this week's edition. After Thursday 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.000 last week, you would think not a lot as transpired 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.520 Fellows in the last four days, But plenty, plenty has 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.640 and plenty will in the coming hours and days. Because 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.200 the league new year star shortly free agency. But this 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:07.280 NFL and NFLPA CBA vote that was scheduled for tomorrow 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.959 postponed now until Saturday. They get a two day extension. 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.360 There's lots to break down and all that, and we'll 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.320 do that in this segment. We'll also be joined tonight 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.880 by two Bears Buster screen joining us tonight, it'll be 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.320 around six thirty and also joining us will be veteran 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.920 wide receiver Javon Whim So a lot to check in 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.880 with the fellas and check in with you guys. Let 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.679 me just get reactions from the two of you right 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:31.320 now on this CBA situation. You know, to me, Jeff, 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.480 it seemed like he was gonna it was working out 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.880 to be a little bit easier than I think we 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.880 all thought before this process ever started. I'm not necessarily disappointed. 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:45.920 I think the conversation a better understanding of the language 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.040 and it might help more people come on board because 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.280 as many the superstars that are an angst of signing 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.280 this new contract, a majority of these guys that have 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.440 interest in signing this contract are still in the early 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:07.680 stages in the development of their career and their wealth management. Yeah, 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.080 it's it's interesting. I think the league's kind of in 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.800 a holding pattern right now, Jeff, until this CBA potentially 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.560 is ratified, and like you said, it's been pushed back 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.840 now till Saturday. The players have till midnight, it sounds 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.799 like to place their votes, but I think everybody's kind 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:28.120 of in a standstill right now. Teams can Technically the 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.440 deadline for the franchise tag is Thursday, and I'm wondering 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.519 if the players push their vote back in order to 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.359 count all the votes. I'm wondering if the league does 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.840 the same, because to me, it would be very difficult 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.240 for teams to conduct business when they don't even have 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.520 the rules yet of a new CBA or without a 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.120 new CBA. So whichever way it goes, it's going to 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.880 change the direction of how teams conduct business. So you 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.480 just wonder if that franchise tag window will be pushed back, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.640 much like the players votes to be counted has been 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.280 pushed back till Saturday. That may be in the cards 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.600 here within the next twenty four hours, so would they. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.919 And still a president's job still on the docket as well, 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.040 and the NFLPA several players nominated. I was interested to 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.760 see what Sam Macho, the former Bear and now Tampa 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.680 Bay Buck, had to say about it. He supports this 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.919 particular offer from the National Football League owners and said 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.720 that basically one percent of the population of players are 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.040 against it. The other nine have something a game from it, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.280 and he breaks it all down very well as we 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.760 would expect him to do. And it does involve the 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.840 increasing minimum salaries and the extra playoff game and the 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:43.880 extra seventeenth game as benefiting those guys, the superstar players, though, 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.640 as we discussed on Thursday of last week, may not 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.160 all be on board with that type of deal. And 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.520 then you got Russell Olkoon, Jim, We'll start with you. 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.120 Russell Olkoon, who's up for this as well. He's already 0:03:54.120 --> 0:04:00.160 on that committee, is reportedly accusing the executive direct through 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.600 the union to Marrow Smith, of trying to push this 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:08.640 thing through without listening to or taking seriously the objections 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.240 of the entire group of players, including the executive committee. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.600 What's your stance on this? What are you hearing on this? Well? 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.200 I don't know for Russell o'coon to come in at 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.680 this late state and uh stage and say, you know, 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:26.159 basically it's it's against their what should I say? They're 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.760 rules of how they conduct business. Maybe they've been negotiating 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.880 for over three hundred days, over three hundred what's been 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.600 in bad faith? I would say, according to Russell o'coon, 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.440 all those players have been informed, every player has been 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.839 sent sent the file and any information that they have requested, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.480 but they had put in place and the ball had 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.880 started rolling with over three hundred days of negotiation, and 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.320 then at the last minute to claim that this is 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.960 bad faith by the CBA when those meetings are conducted 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.440 every single month, that the player reps are a breast 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.400 of the situation and some of those guys are involved 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.200 in the actual negotiating. So I just think for for 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.560 Russell o'coon, who is one of the prominent players of 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.040 kind of compared to the rank and file players that 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.200 make make league minimum, for I think for him to 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.280 say that, I think is disingenuous at best. Yeah, I agree. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.159 I think there's such a separation between Russell o'coon and 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.520 that bottom tier of guys that are fighting for their 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.520 NFL life that you know, they don't have a lot 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.440 in common. So you know, when they have a decision 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.280 that has to be make and you go out there 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.680 and you try to make a headline just by putting 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.680 yourself out there, it's I don't think it's putting you 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.839 in favor of the young guys. I just think it's 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.200 trying to put your name out there as a possible 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.920 candidate to take this thing over. Well, he apparently has 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.159 proposed a bad faith filing and an unfair labor practice 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.680 charge with the National Labor Relations Board as it impacts 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.960 the CBA. All kind of stuff. We could talk about 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.919 this all day. I know fans don't love talking about 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.160 this stuff, but it is a top headline right now 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.400 in the National Football League. But when we come back, 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.239 we'll be joined by Javon Wims, the former Georgia Bulldog 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.040 and Bears wide receiver.

Well, you know, I'm just keeping an 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.240 eye on it. Just yet more information from the older guys, 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.520 you know, whenever it's time to make decisions and stuff 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.960 like that. So you know, I just be keeping a 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.960 good eye on it. I haven't been too deep involved 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.440 in it, but I've been keeping a good enough eye 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.520 on it. You know, Jivan, there's a lot of people 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.000 that's going to take care of this collective bargaining agreement 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.119 and get a take care of What are you doing 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.160 to Givon Wims? Do? We've seen your talent, but how 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.560 can we see an expanded role by Javon Wims? Just 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.960 you know, just focus every year. I try to just 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.880 grow every year, you know, from my UM. It started 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.040 way back since I was journey at Georgia. You know 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.480 I didn't every year just find a way to grow 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.200 and be and you know, have a better following year. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.640 And you know I did that my UM senior year 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.720 at Georgia. From my journeys to senior year and dance 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.640 from my rookie to sophomore season. You know, I think 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.440 I've definitely made a jump. So now just third years 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.280 trying to make a permanent jump out just pretty much 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.800 solidified act of the NFL starter. Well, Divan, Obviously, you 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.920 mentioned about getting the information from whether it's your player reps, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.200 and I assume you've been in those meetings and being 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.200 a player and being a part of the union. You 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.880 are a dudes member that pays. I mean, how you know, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.840 for a young player when you come into the NFL, 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.200 how interested were you information whether it's Damorris Smith is 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.360 laid out or your Bears player reps to really inform 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.480 you of the partnership you have with NFL owners in 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.160 the NFL. Um Obviously, when you know we first get 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.720 in the NFL, you're just trying to just focus on 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.520 you know, you know, smaller things and you know things 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.480 are right now. But as you know, the season one 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.600 O that as I got more information on it, you know, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.000 I became intrigued by and just you know what to me, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.840 sitting to me is listening to guy's opinions and thinking, 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.080 you know how this can affect every guys from the 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:55.800 oldest player on the team to the youngest player on 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.880 the team. So you know, I definitely just you know, 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.840 been keeping a good ear to it and guy to it. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.800 Javan whims our guests here on Bears All Access presented 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.719 by IGS Energy on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.920 score Jivan, joined by Tom There, Jim Miller, and myself 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.720 Jeff Jonik Jivan. In terms of what your offseason plan 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.480 is in terms of the physical aspect of it, do 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.120 you have anything up your sleeve different and you've done 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.439 in other years getting ready physically to play the game, 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.320 And what are you asking of yourself in that regard? Oh, well, 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.600 you know, different from a lot of years, you know, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.320 I would just train and train and train, and sometimes 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.280 over training. This year, I'm being a little bit more smarter. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.360 Just I know my body now, and you don't know 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.360 how to train myself now, I know how to Uh, 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.719 you know you're to write people who right trainers.

So I definitely just 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.800 been smarter about it this year. There's a lot of 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.960 coaching changes on the offensive side of the ball, but 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.040 there's consistency with your position. Coach. You know, when you 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.240 talk about the amount of coaches that you go through 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.520 in college and some of the guys go through the NFL, 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.400 how important it has been for you to have consistency 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.640 at your position. Coach, Man, it's been amazing. Um, you know, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.440 I love you know, I love learning from the coach 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.839 I have now. Um, you know, he's he's awesome, and 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.880 it just show you know, his work not only is 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.440 just been speaking for ourselfs Um, you know things he 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.680 teach you know, not only just me, but the other receivers. 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.600 You know, we go out and we try to performance 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.480 to the best abilities and where we learn it. You know, 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.400 it pretty much shows and it's a Um every player 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.560 that I feel like, you know, we all made a jump. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:32.920 So I think, Um, it just shows how great of 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.040 a coach he is and it's very just important just 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.080 to have that same consistency. Well, is it different like 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.080 when you go back, say in twenty eighteen, and you 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.680 watch your plays and the contributions that you made, and 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.640 then you watch last year's tape and you see how 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.040 different of a player you are or maybe areas you 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:53.240 have improved so greatly. I mean, does that surprise you? 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.040 How different in things that you're learning, how much better 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.400 you are as a player? And I guess what are 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.280 your focus now? When you go back and watch the 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.880 step to say, hey, I can make a huge improvement again. 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.120 Well yeah, you you you're right. Um, you know it's 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.199 a teller two players. You know, my coach sat me 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.520 down and he showed me twenty eighteen version of me, 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.800 rookie version, and he showed me some clips of me 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.480 last year. And you know, you absolutely it looks like 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.800 two different players. And you know where I go from Now. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.120 I look at, you know, the player from first year. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.120 I look at the player from last year, and then 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.360 I look at the things that I liked, and I 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:28.880 looked at it was a lot of things I didn't like. 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.240 So the things I didn't like, you know, just correct 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.320 those things. And now around this time next year, when 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.559 I'm looking back at this player, you know, of this 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.760 coming season, hopefully I'm able to say, um well, I 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.040 knew I'll be able to say, yeah, I definitely corrected 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:46.160 a lot of things I did years leading two. Hey Javan, 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.720 what is it that you liked and what is it 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.280 that you didn't like about as you did yourself analysis? 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.760 And how do you parlay that into you know, making 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.079 a bigger impact. Yet eighteen for one eighty six and 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.319 a touchdown last season you got more playing time than 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:07.640 you did. Is there is there something concrete that you 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.560 can tell us? Um well, I know I've always been 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.120 an opportunist to player, and I've always just made most 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.520 of my opportunities. But there are some opportunities I definitely 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.120 left out the last year. You know, I'm not proud 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.360 of myself for and you know, I definitely want to 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.520 correct just mainly just you know, keeping the technician trying 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.400 to rush off for us, and you know I have 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.080 pretty good grout running. You know, I focused on you know, 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.040 releasing offline scrimmas and things that people said I couldn't do. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.560 So I do those things fairly well. Now now is 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.760 just putting it all together and showing that I could 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.680 do it, not only every Sunday, but every day throughout 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.600 the week. And you know when I roll out of bed, 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.240 I'm the same consistent player, which is you know, I 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.840 believe myself I'll be a great player in this league 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.920 one day. But just putting it all together now and 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.200 just being more consistent with it. You know, you had 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.480 a great block last year on Cordarrell Patterson's kickoff return 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.679 for a tough down. You know when you're trying to 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.840 transfer the blocking ability of a wide receiver to your 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:09.559 blocking responsibilities as a special team or has the two 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.240 of them helped each other combined to do each of 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.480 them better? Um, it definitely as help. And you know 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.319 one thing I had to learn, you know, blocking is 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.920 a great technique. Also a lot of time blocking is 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.679 you know, just the one too if you gotta want to, 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.600 you know, be able to do it. And you know 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.680 CP as a guy, you know what I've seen that's 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.440 you know, he's a great returner. So you know I 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.440 will be doing a disservice not only to the same 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.120 but you know to somebody who's a great returner. If 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.360 I didn't you know, go out there. You know I 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.040 try and block is if I'm trying to run around 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.600 and get open. And that's how I just said shut. 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.480 That's how I approach every blocking, even on offense, if 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.280 there's an everything for me and make a good block, 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.559 you know, to help a runner get you know, five 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.760 or eight or ten or whoever long extra amount of 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.960 yards after contact that you know, that's what I'm gonna do. Um, 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.520 are you open to change? Because you know you look 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.760 at all the offensive changes in terms of the coaching staff. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.760 Granted wide receivers stays the same with with Mike Fury, 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.760 but how the offense could be structured differently and how 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.320 your role could could be different with the change. Are 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.000 you open to it? I guess from that standpoint. Um, 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:12.920 you know, obviously, if the team needed me to and 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.480 it makes sense, then you know, obviously you know I'd 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.240 be willing to make a change. But if it's a 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.320 change you know that I think will help the team. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.520 If you know, if it's something else, you know, I don't, 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.040 we all don't see that I'll be great at or 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:28.920 to help. You know, it would makes sense. But if 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.440 if the change makes sense, then you know I'd definitely 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.080 be willing to do it. All right, We're gonna let 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.680 you go. Jivan. I appreciate you coming on, but I'd 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.720 be remiss if I didn't bring up some of your 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.080 bulldogs coming into the league. You know, you want to 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.720 be in this business someday. You want to be in 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.400 a communication business, right, so you know, give us a 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.480 little fuming. Now. You got Jake From, you got the 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.360 two big offensive line and Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.760 You got DeAndre Swift. That's just to name a few 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.560 before guys on offense that fans might be interested in 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.960 knowing about. You know, you just name some great guys. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.520 Everybody knows. You know, the headliner is a Jake From 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.480 and um DeAndre Swift. So I don't need much time 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.560 speaking on those guys. You know they they are headliners. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.600 But Brian Harry and great running back. Um. You know 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.520 around hard, he's got a run between your face, you 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.800 will catch the ball. He's a great special teams player. 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.120 You know, he gave nothing but effort and he's reliable. Um. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.840 You know, Andrew Thomas is a great officer a linement. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.280 You know he's uh, he's gonna remind you a lot 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.520 of Isaiah Wilson. He went to UM. You know, Zay 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.040 went to the Patriots the years Sony and Jay went 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.240 to the Patient's first round together, and which is my 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.160 draft here? And um Charlon Acknlly, you know as a guy, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.600 he's he came along and you know he definitely showed 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.040 how great he can be. Fun Sack. I used to 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.760 make Soiloman from the same area, so I played Solomon 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:53.160 many times in high school basketball. Kids athletic, so are you. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.440 It's an unbelievable crop of offensive weapons coming out of 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.440 that program list how many years, and you're one of them. 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.120 So look forward to see you once the offseason program begins. 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:03.760 And thanks for taking out some time. Enjoy the rest 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.640 of your vacation. Oh no problems, Thank you, Thank you 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:10.400 guys for having you our pleasure. Javon Wims our gas 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.320 buster screen coming up at the bottom of the hour, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.080 but up next, Tom and Jim and Bears Talk here 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.000 on Bears All Access on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:22.320 to score. This segment of Bears All Access is brought 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.600 to you by Old Spice. Never let a friend lose 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.560 his swagger, Jeff, Joni Act, Tom there and Jim Miller 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.880 with you as you break down the Bears in advance 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.400 of the new league here coming up on the eight team. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.720 Lots of issues to break down with the CBA, hoping 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.560 to get finalized and voted down by the players, and 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.000 we'll see if it passes. And there's so much conversation 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.080 about it that we could spend an entire show on it, 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.360 but a couple of notes. So much kind of hit 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.840 the news of the day, guys. But even before I 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.960 do that, Jim, you had in that conversation with Javon 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.120 Wims just now you were intimating, okay, if they ask 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:02.840 you to make a change, were you buying a position change? No, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.439 I just mean open to the offense? Yeah, could he 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.080 move around? Could he play different positions? Is it going 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.639 to be looked at differently offensively? Certainly Bill Laser is 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.240 going to bring his ideas to the table. I gotta 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.520 believe John D. Philippo is going to bring his eyes 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.399 to the table as well. Clancy Barrone is going to 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.680 have his input. But you know what I mean by 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.120 that's just how is the offense gonna shift it all? 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.480 Is it shifting in a different direction if say, maybe 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.399 tight end isn't addressed, Is there going to be a 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.439 different outlook of how they structure the offense moving forward 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.040 in terms here Tom asked him a great question about blocking. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.720 You know, the lack of run game last year. Maybe 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.919 there's some principles that are going to change and be 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.600 different from that standpoint. Maybe the whole run scheme is 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:51.840 different overall with what Vandcas Steele in the new coaches 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.359 may implement and how the games are going to be 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.640 called differently by coach Naggy. So, I mean, I think 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.560 that's all on the table because you go from twenty 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.640 six points a game down to sixteen points a game 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.959 clearly is not good enough, and you have to be 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:09.399 open to change to do some things differently. You know, 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.240 routes and catches for Givon Wims that everybody understands he's 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.760 got the size and he's got the attributes you need. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.120 So you think of, you know, Taylor Gabriel is gonna 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.240 move on, do they want to add more size over 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.960 the across the line of scrimmage and every receiver and 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.920 you know Javon Wims. The more you get recognized because 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.119 of the great effort you're putting in in practice, the 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.080 more opportunities you're going to create for yourself. So as 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.960 much as he's lucky to have Mike Fury still here 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.000 and the consistency of that position coach that knows him. 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.040 It is about year to year improvement in the eyes 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.760 of the GM, the scouts, and the position coaches. All right, good, 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.800 good guy to talk to you, No question about it. 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.720 The guy is definitely advancing as a player in different 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.639 aspects of his game. Just gotta fine tune it a 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.080 little bit. And coming up next, we're gonna be joined 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.080 by Busters, the veteran defender at the nickel position one 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.320 are the most important ones in the NFL.
