Coaches Show: Nagy, Tabor on big games

the Village of Bedford Park. No. From Hellis Hall. Here's the Voice of the Bears w BBMS, Jeff joniag and a pleasant good in everybody, and welcome into the Bears Coaches Show from PNC Studios at Habis All. The Bears are nine to four and a first place in the NFC North and it continues to be that way. Welcome in, Coach Naggie. How you doing. What a game? That was? The whole city is going crazy? You know that, right? Yeah?

Doing good? Now? That was absolute blast last night. The city was going crazy, the fans were going crazy, our players were going crazy because of that and came out with the victory. Were brought to you by a Whippley Financial Advice was going to be with you for the next hour talking Bears football. As we always discussed and everybody who loves the game knows every week as a new drama in the National Football League. There was wonder out there how this game was going to flush out,

even for you right, yeah, they're head coaching for sure. No, it's uh, you know, such a great game. It was great for really football fans in general. A lot of different types of matchups that people were looking forward to, and you know, I think people got what they wanted and I just uh to be a part of that.

Lots of great plays, so Ralph. Defensively speaking, you know, both sides were really getting after those offenses and uh but in the end, ultimately, you know, we stuck together as a team, um and did exactly what we needed to do to get to win. It turns out defense is still involved. That's right, You're right, and it's I'm sure glad that we have our defense. I know that. What do you think of it? Well, they're relentless. That's the one word that I just kept thinking about this

morning as I was watching. You know, the tape is really uh. As you know, we always talk about the green grass and having a quarterback having enough pocket in front of him to make throws. And really last night, I thought our defense that was the number one thing that they did was they took away the green grass from Jared Goff. They were they were able to to really just stay in his face, make every throw a

difficult one. And then our dbs on the back end, they were there right on time and h you know, breaking up passes and it was just a really really cool night. The cool part of it too, you know, you had to really do the best you could to

contain Todd Gurley. Otherwise it could have been a different situation with the play action game and whatnot because of who he is the play actions there anyway, But to hold him the twenty eight lost game in forty eight games of his career, yeah, that's that's tough to do. And uh, it's not just Todd Gurley, but it's that scheme.

It's it's the quarterback. You know. They does a great job with the offensive line with all the wax and the backs and the slices that they do with their their tight ends and um, so for our offense to go out there and and limit him to twenty eight yards, I think you could ask a lot of people and they wouldn't believe you if you if you said you were going to do that, and we did it. Here's

the other thing people don't believe too. When you you gotta break it down, you gotta watch every snap, is that every single one of those guys on defense had a hand in this thing. Yeah, that's the other part of it too. And that's what I think, Um, really, you know elevates this defense versus a lot of other defenses. Is it is all about these different positions. These guys are out there just feeding off of each other, and it's the next man up, it's the next play mentality. Um,

it really doesn't matter who you are. Somebody's trying to get a piece of it. How's Bryce Callahan doing the nickel defender left in the second quarter earlier today? Said, Uh, I think you said a lower leg injury. Yeah, he had. He has a has a left foot. So we'll get that looked at here in the next really twenty four

hours and get a idea where he's at. And uh, you know, but it's he's he's a great player for us, and and uh you know, we're keeping our fingers And Cherrick McManus came in there and you know, he had to hit, he had to make the tackles because those guys can get a lot after the catch, and he didn't allow that to happen. And he turned out he

led the team and tackles. Yeah, you know, Cherik was It was impressive to see him really sticking his nose in there on a lot of a lot of a lot of those runs where they try to break contained and he was able to shoot him in there and make a tackle, uh, and prevent any any long runs or any outside outside zone runs. And so that was a great job by him stepping in like that. Wouldn't have won the game if you didn't get what you did get from your offense though, in particular in the

running game. But you know, there were key plays, key passes. It wasn't the best day for Mitch obviously in the offense, but there was enough to get it done. Yeah, And sometimes you'll have those games. Uh, you know, we we were at a point yesterday where they were, you know, playing a little bit more zone defense and uh get

in us a little bit. There are some different looks for the run, and I thought the offensive line did a phenomenal job at protected in the past game when we did throw and then creating lanes for those running backs, and you saw Tarik and Jordan both having some nice little runs there. To flip the field position in a game like that, that's huge. So when we talked before the game, our pregame interview, you were taking a look at very specific things to make a difference in this game.

One it was turnovers, obviously, but you won that turnover battle once again. Having time of possession turned out to be really big against that offense. You just wanted the team to play fast. I think these are things that all came to fruition, and then you threw in the added element of getting getting something out of your run game, stopping their run, getting creative in the red zone again, and playing suffocating defense. It was a really formula win.

Yeah it was, and it was different. But our guys, when you're able to on offense, if they're not going to give you the big plays and they're going to take that away, then you have to be able to get first downs. You can't go three and out. There was time to where I felt like we were able to move the sticks and get at least two first downs. And what that does is that allows your defense to have at least a little bit of a breather on

the sideline before they come back out. You know, we did have the one turnover the sudden change, but then our defense went right back out and very next play they got an interception. So that's that's what I think is so neat about our team is we just keep plugging away, keep moving forward, and everyone's got each other's back. Let's talk about the building. Crowd was nuts, and it just kept getting bigger. The crescendo built throughout the night.

It's what you want, it's what you're looking for. It's what you kind of sent out their message wives throughout the course the weekend, and frankly you have all season long. Are you getting what you're looking for? Yeah, last night was Last night was awesome. They you could just tell every time they were out there on offense, you know, and there's some communication that goes on now between the coach and the quarterback and and uh so for the

fans to be super loud, it's hard to hear. And you saw there was a couple of times they had to take time out, so there was a couple of false starts that they had that's a credit to the fans anyway you want to look at it. That that's that's a credit. Yeah, the hands go up, you know that that that he's that he's having trouble. And so the other big part about that is that the players and I can't stress this enough. The players just feed into it so much. And it's amazing what some what

some great crowd noise can do. And so it's just fun for everybody. And Uh, what I thought was was the coolest part was it wasn't just a couple of plays here or there. I mean, the crowd was going crazy from start to finish. Yeah, and you didn't lose them. I mean, you know that's that's a credit to what you guys were doing and how you went about doing it. There were other tweaks that I was honestly unaware of

being in the booth with my headset on. But everybody's writing and talking about it with an air raid siren and all this other game presentation. Uh did that help? Or I mean, are these things that you guys want? Isn't? But yeah, it all helps. And that's again a credit to everybody in the organization working together to make it a really fun and advantageous environment, you know, doing it the right way and doing it legally obviously with the noise,

and that's what we did. And when you can do that, it just amps everybody else up at home. That's why you want to have home field advantage. That's why you want to protect Soldier field. And we did that six and one, with one more to go against the Green

Bay Packers coming up on Sunday. The Bears Coaches Show with head coach Matt Maggie and w bbm's Jeff Joniac continues, So fullard is a wing to the left side of the formation, heads in motion of the right, with blown Nichols in the backfield, Trabisky with Hicks, the fake handoff, Trubisky pops a pass duck rarely soul touchdown, touchdown, Bears

hand the tricks jeep on coming from that. Naggie another great design hand The Bears are of fourteen six here on the If I knew ahead of time, we'd call that Santa's Slave, but you know, we find that after the fact. And yeah, you know what, I just want you to know this because Tom and I on the broadcast we have fun with it, obviously, but my eyes open up. I see four defensive guys going out there in ninety numbers and souls out there, and so you know,

you just get riveted. But you know, I don't mean to demean the play calling on something like this and calling get trick, because it's not a trick that should be eliminated. From my conversation, these are actual sound design, meaningful red zone plays that just don't have your typical skill sets, you know what I'm saying. So I want to apologize. They're not tricks. They're plays that are meaningful. So I want to get that out there right away. I hope you don't get offended by, you know, the

description of that, because they are there. There's something else and I know they'll keep on coming in a variety of ways. But what's it doing to your sideline, what's it doing to your locker room? What's it doing to your day to day? We touched on it last week, but it's now getting to the point where anybody at any time could potentially be called the duty. Yeah, well, the guys like it, and whether it's different people on

offense with other offensive lineman or it's the defensive players. Um, you know, like I've said before, we have fun with it during the week and just going in and knocking on Vick's door and pulling out a couple of the guys calling out their numbers and when their number gets called there, they get they get pretty pumped up about it. Doesn't mean it's gonna get run, but we'll practice it and and who knows what the play is gonna be.

Uh uh and if it's ever gonna work. But you know, I just think that it's important to h to evolve everybody and if you do it the right way and you have some reasoning behind it. So far, we've been

kind of fortunate they've been working there. You're looks like, yeah, yeah, no, I'm not surprised, but I just know that we're We're glad they're working and and uh, but you do there, whatever you call them, whether it's tricks or deceptive, Um, what it does is it it puts the defense out a little bit of a disadvantage because, um, if you've never done it before, there's no way they can possibly have have scheme for it. And uh, that's to me an advantage to the offense. Why are you doing it?

Like what like nobody's doing this? Yeah, Matt Nage, Well, I, uh, you know, we're I've always been kind of into being out of the box with that kind of stuff. I've always been that way, and uh um, why not? You know, it's it's the guys love it. If the guys hated it and it wasn't fun, I wouldn't do it. But they love it and it just helps, it helps bring us all together. And trust me, they're super excited on the sideline. They want they want you to call that play.

They want to be a part of it. And then they got to execute it. I mean, what a great throw by Mitch yesterday, what a great catch by Bradley, great seale by by all the lineman Bachem to act like he had the ball. And then there's Roy uh you know, Robertson. He's Royson the back running the back end line and he wants the ball. You know, he's telling us today that he was more open than Bradley, you know, which is a complete bold lie. But uh but it's fun and our guys like it's so why not?

So what's Andy Reid thinking? Because this is your mentor and you know in time and I talked about this today because he comes from the Lavelle Edwards Tree. He was a tackle at BYU and A and a revolutionary passing game at that school. Uh would he be proud as an offensive lineman of a three hundred pounder catching that touchdown pass? What would he be thinking? Absolutely? He is into all of that. And you know we uh we we've put together some plays in Kansas City the

last several years. I mean, shoot, you look at don Terry Poe. He had a rushing touchdown, he had a passing touchdown against the Broncos with the bloated tebout pass, and um, I mean we have great we have some great ones now and so he loves all that and uh, that's that's that's what I know, That's what he knows. And and uh they've been good to us, So let's let's keep it going. Is he text you after this? A matter of fact, he just texted here a little bit ago, So uh yeah, no, we stay in touch,

and I know he appreciates it. He roots us on and and he likes it. I mean, you know, coach, I mean he's he's an outside the box thicker as well, and again progressive minded, um different but yet calculated and when you have it that way, Um, usually good things happen, and so far we've been fortunate with that and only two teams in the league with a second half lead this season, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago pretty cool every single game, pretty Niche means, you know, these guys,

you're in everything, sure every time. It's another compliment to you though, And I think this is and I mentioned this in the broadcast yesterday we were wrapping it up as I had the adrenaline rush of excitement because it's it's it's great to see your general manager who hand picked you to be the head coach, you guys working together. But a coach it gets a roster play layers and feels like he can coach every single one of them,

and he's got something for every single one. He just doesn't say, well, I can't really use you right now, all right, I can't coach you. You don't think that way, And this is an example, Yeah, yeah, no, I And I wasn't raised that way in the coaching world. With coach read you know, that's one thing you always see and I believe that you know, it's it's uh, whoever is there for you, that's who we roll with, and uh, it's our job as coaches to make sure that we adapt.

If you don't adapt, that that old saying adapt or die, and you need to be able to adapt. You got to. It's Uh, there's a lot of teams right now that are going through different issues and different struggles. Um, some are more fortunate than others. But um, whatever situation we're in, you know, you know, I'm just You're not going to find that from from me. You're not going to find that from our other coaches. That's just not how we

do it. And so whatever cards were dealt were dealt, and we need to make the no more of the Bears Coaching Show with head coach Matt Maggie on news Wadio seven eighty and one out five point nine FM w BBM, Sullivan sends it back to big push up front down safety Eddie Goldman, a vicious front push by that Bears front bore and then gets to God for the end zone. It turned out to be big and the Bears get the ball back and drive down and score.

So that was a significant moment in the game. Yeah, without a doubt, that's where you can kind of feel things heading our way and Eddie and and Keem getting in there, Eddie just making a great play and getting in there for the sack. Uh. And now in order to get to that part, it was the play before that where fifty two and ninety four both both forced Gurly to lose four or five yards and get into

that position. And so I thought that was significant. Uh. And then we were able to get to football, go down the field and get to score, and that was nice to be able to go up nine points. Yeah, it was. It was a ferocious push by those guys up front. And I think a chem Is man, he's playing at a whole different level right now. He is there's, without a doubt, and I'm really happy for him. The energy that he's playing with. When he brings it, he's

really unstoppable when when he wants to be. He's just such a big, strong, powerful, tall He understands run game versus the play action pass, and when he penetrates through that that first line of defense, he's just so long, and yet he has a burst to him as well. So all those guys together, they're really doing a great job. Let's talk a little vic Fangio. His players are calling him every you can wizard, you know, the evil genius.

I know everybody calls him the godfather. How much is he enjoying this because you can't really tell the time. He's having a lot of fun, And you're right, you can't always tell. But I think that's one of his qualities, of one of his good traits is he always just stays kind of composed. And even Kiel and the players feud off of that, and they trust him. They know

system is great, it really works. Uh you know, they they he puts them in good positions and then when they're in that position, they got to make the play. And both both times in both cases yesterday with the coaching on that side and the players, they did that, and you gave him the opportunity to break down the

locker room. We all saw that on video. How important as you've been in this position as a coordinator, is that a coordinator to come up there and represent his side of the ball in that kind of fashion with all the all the team with him, offensive players you know, going crazy too. Yeah, Well, anybody that knows Vic knows that he's the last person that wants to do that, and that's okay. Um, But I just felt like it

was way too important. Number one, h too many guys on defense played played too good and to be able to just pick one person. But on top of that, I just thought it was a perfect opportunity for the way our defense has been playing this entire year, for the leader of the defense and coach Fangio to be able to get the breakdown. And I know the players liked it, and deep down on the side him, I

hope Vic appreciated it. But we're all in this thing together, and there's gonna be times when the defense bails out the offense and the special teams has a couple of touchdowns and the offense um scores forty points. Uh. And yesterday just happened to be one of those games where field position was out of premium and turnovers and sacks and it was going to be a defensive battle. So an interview with Khalil mac right after the game, his quote, mattee,

he's a perfect man for the job. As that make you feel and you have connected with these guys much like you were talking about last week about Sean mcfay connecting. You noticed that too. I mean that's a critical edge

for a coach. Yeah, No, that means the world to me, and I think that for our coaches, for myself to have that respect from our players and for them to know that how much respect they have from us, and how how we want to do this thing together and we want to lead them and let them follow us and then them go do it. But that that connection is too important and if we're if we're gonna make you know, a final push and a run at this thing,

we all got to do it together. We all got to believe, and we got we all got to be there to support one another. And that's just an example of that week when you played the pack. If you get him on Sunday, how different of a team are they going to be facing, Well, it'll be it'll be

different from both sides they have. They have a different look defensively, they have they've been banged up a little bit, a couple of guys on ir Offensively, they have some guys back that they didn't have, so, um, it'll be obviously a big challenge for us. They got a great quarterback obviously in Aaron Rodgers. Um, but our guys will be ready, they'll be very focused and um, it seems like forever ago that first that first game in Lambeau.

But you go back and you think about it, how much we've grown and the question marks that we had that first week, and how were we going to respond after that difficult loss? And here we are, So what better way. Here's the word that's come to is resilience. Yeah, without it. You said at that time, we will learn from how we lost game. So yes, and we all believe that. We all believed that we had to prove it, we had to show it, we had to learn from it. But here we are here at the end of the season,

and I really wouldn't want it any other way. And now you're in a position where a win you clinch a playoff spot regardless, so you don't want to ever talk playoffs. But now you're at the door. Yeah, you're at the door. How does that change your messaging? How does that how do you frame it? Well, it doesn't change anyways. So for us, the way we'll approach it is exactly what we've been doing. When you start chasing things that normally you play different and I don't want

to chase anything. I want our guys to just continue being them and playing the way that we play best, and then all that stuff will happen on its own and we just control what we do. I think we'll be okay, all right, thank you so much. Good luck

Let's let's break down your side of the ball in the precedings yesterday new return man Anthony Miller. The decision to turn to him and what will he potentially give you in that regard. Oh, he's been making plays offensively, obviously. I think he's a guy that has big playability. You know, he's a he's a guy that runs hard, catches the ball well, has

great hands. But we're just looking to get that thing going. That's been a disappointing area our kick return game at this time, So we'll continue to work hard at it looking for a spark. And you know, we really only got one opportunity and it was kind of a kind of a bad kick really, uh, which which kind of helped them a little bit. But we'll just kind of keep staying the course, and you know, we'll have another

another challenge this week with Greenband. Do you think in the final three weeks of the season, depending on situations of course, and and who you're playing and what it means, are you gonna see more kicks or do you think that this is just a year where you're not seeing a ton of kicks. I haven't seen a ton of kicks. And I'll be honest with you. Going into the game last night, I thought that was going to be a

big return to night. Just the weather and you know whatever, it was twenty six degrees, twenty two degrees, Ball's not going to fly as far. But the wind picked up and and you know, Zerline has a has a big leg, and he had a couple of touchbacks there, which kind of surprised me, to be quite honest with you, But I think it's it's always a week to week thing. The fake Pumpeye Johnny Hacker you talked, we all knew.

I mean, he's got it on his resume as a nineteenth pass attempt in his career at that particular time. Were they aware of it but just couldn't stop it as a well executed play. It was a well executed play. Obviously, we don't want that to happen to us. I thought we were in pretty good position. I mean they had to challenge it to get a first down, so that

tells you that you are in position. But Hecker is a good player, and I mean he's the third string quarterback, he's a he's a guy that they can pull that out at any time. And I think they were obviously looking for some park and you know it's could happen early in the game, just because if something bad does happen, I mean, they risked it right there at that at that field position, and you know, if they come up short, they still have you know, they're thinking, probably is they

still have a lot of football left to overcome that mistake. Um, you know, but we ended up holding them to three there. I believe on on that driver. Defense did a great job and uh, you know, we gotta obviously prevent that from happening. But a heck of a tackle, bye Benny Kunningham. Otherwise that's even a bigger, bigger run, right just nip nip him, and the nip nip him right there. Yeah,

he nipped him right there. And I was standing right there, and I have to be honest, I thought it was a first down and then I saw the spot and I thought, wow, we got a generous spot right there, and so I was obviously very excited about that. But it was it was It was close, but well executed the Bears Coaches Show with Special Teams coordinator Chris Taper

and w bbm' Jeff Joni Act continued. Cooks left woods, the slot back to the left up golf in the gun, Siever Wright snap backed off, big push up front, pocket starts to closest bullets thrown it to intercepted. Hare comes rou right twenty fifteen. Ten inside the punt of the mounds. The pocket was tight, the ball came out wobbly and rokun with the swipe. Bears takeover inside the rams ten.

Now eleven different Bears have interceptions, sixteen have sex. And do you know this, Chris table, that's sixteen different players have scored touchdowns for the Bears in twenty eighteen, tied with the Saints. I did not know that. That's a lot of good math right there. But you know this speaks to what's going on here. Everybody's getting a hand in it. So, I mean, you, as a special team's coach, you get to coach a lot of these guys. Oh it's great to see and you know, I mean, obviously

the thing that you really enjoy as a coach. They play well together and they want to see each other succeed and I think as a coach that's that's very gratifying and it's fun to be a part of Sheriff McManus forced in a defensive duty for a good half. Did it affect I didn't notice. I did see him on on coverage. But did you have to pull back a little bit on him on coverage? No, we know we got no, Yes we did. Oh you did, Yeah,

we had, we had. There was in the second half there there there was a lot of things going on, and uh, credit to our guys. You go up to him and say, hey, I need you to play here, and need you to play here. We're gonna make this adjustment. And the guys you know so who came who came in then and helped you out in different areas well. We ended up, uh taking an inside player on the punt and having to move him outside to gunner and then bringing another player that wasn't playing inside on the punt.

So it's something that we practice, is stuff that we talk about and we always have a plan going into the game, and it's just when those things happen, you just say, okay, we're going to execute plan A right now. And if then, if something happens in Plan A, then you're ready for Plan B. And then and then if you get to plan and see you're holding on for

dear life. Take us through, uh the all right, you're out there to punt boom wholesale change official knockdown, Give us the history of that, how it all transpired, and what the I guess that's the rule they have to stop the play when the official goes down. I didn't know that. Well, you know, obviously, when when you send the punt team out there, um, and then you sprint them off, they technically do get to have some time to make a substitution themselves. But it's it's one of

those things where, um, you know, it's controlled chaos. And I believe that they had already burned a time out right before, so they couldn't burn another time out or else that's going to be a penalty, so uh, get a first down there. So it was you know, we definitely had the right idea and we just missed a little bit on the on the execution. But you know, it's it's a it's a good play. I think I may have answered you this before on this show, but

with Matt's creativity, and its constant thinking. Is it challenge you as well as a coordinator to do the same on special teams? No question? And that's what's uh. I've definitely as a as a coach, you always want to grow each and every year. You don't want to just

do the same things over and over again. And and nags is he challenges It challenges you to do that and that and that that's fun and uh, you know it's it's it's great to look at our players and say, hey, this guy has this skill set, how can I use him for the for the purpose that we wanted to want to do that? And it makes you think out of the box a little bit. And I think it

I think it helps you stay fresh. I think it helps the players stay fresh and be excited about playing and doing those different things, whether it's offense, defense, or in the kicking game. So we just got to kind of keep growing with that. When you went through the interview process with him and obviously connections with Dave tob and all of that too. Knowing him, did you know this ahead of time that he was going to challenge you like this or did you have to be in

it to know it? I would definitely say I definitely had a feeling. Obviously, Dave had told me a lot of great things about him, but just visiting with him and sensing his energy, you knew that that was the avenue that we'd probably venture down. And I think that's that's a fun one. You know that that's that's what you want to do. What a coaching meetings like I walked by I had to do an interview with coach and he was going to a meeting, and you guys are all in a big boardroom ready to go. Are

they fun? Do they have an edge to them? Do they is it all business? I think it's a little bit of everything. I think what I honestly what I would call it's very real, you know, and that's probably the best way to describe it. And it's very we're in this thing together and he he, he is our leader, but h you feel very much a part of it and that I need to handle my area because we need to go this way. This is where the ship is going. And I think that's a has a is

a great leadership skill set. Have you been able to learn some things about the game from his eyes that maybe you've been around a long time now, so, but that maybe you didn't look at the same way. He always talks about he and Mitch having the same eyes. Does he want the coaches to have the same way, Yes,

he did, he does. And I've learned a lot from him, you know, the game management stuff and how he's thinking and you know, being aggressive and if if it works, great, If it doesn't, that's okay, but you know, if it doesn't work, we're going to keep on playing. And uh, you know, for example last night, even even on the fake pomp when they when they got were We've made an aggressive call initially, and uh, they got it, and on the sideline we were like, okay, let's move on

next play. That no one flinched, And I think that's that's a credit to coach of how he talks to the players and talks to the coaches and that's a lot of fun.

You've been here before when things were going well. How

did they compare? I'll tell you what last night. It caught me in the fourth in the fourth quarter, it might have been on a third down play and I looked up and you could just hear it. And it was one of those things when someone is standing right next to you and you're really yelling at them. You're communicating. Our fans were unbelievable and h it was. It really was awesome experience, awesome experience. It was awesome to hear.

A couple other notes, Josh Bellamy got down there and made a nice play in special teams become used to seeing him over the years, UH doing that sort of thing as well. He can still get dead done. No, Josh played well. He played well and Uh. I was really proud of him because the week before he had a couple opportunities and did a nice job getting down there and didn't finish as well as we'd like. This week, he took in another step, So it was nice to

see him grow in that area. And we had some other guys, I mean, Benny Cunningham, who was a former RAM very excited to play and the stuff that he does behind the scenes. He's really he's our quarterback, putting us in the right calls and handling all those situations like like the pro that he is. I mean that

that was big for us. Last night you had mentioned you know this, Uh, this week in the league only seventy five percent converted for field goals and um, the weather is changing, missed extra points up to is this a trend for the rest of the season. Cody misfired on a field goal on the south end. Um, And now you know, I get it, because everybody's wanting, okay,

is this and you know a problem again? It's it's it's you know, everybody's gonna get wigged out every time no, And I think I think it's because the the fan just expects them and we all obviously expect them to make it, but it still is a skill that that takes place. Um. When I was watching the game yesterday before our game and I saw all the misses, it kind of struck me. And when I saw the information today how many missus there were, And then I looked

at the last two weeks all the missed extra points. Uh, you kind of begin to say, well, the weather's changing at a lot of places, the wind is changing, and it is it is affecting guys. Uh, there's there's gonna be some misses. Uh, but I think what you're looking for in a kicker obviously as a strong legged guy, but really more strong minded. And I believe that we

have that guy. I mean, obviously he had the four hit posts and the Detroit game and came back for the next four weeks and has been very solid and was very good last night. I mean helped us get to that. You know that that fifteen. Obviously he's disappointed that he missed that last one. That that ice is it. I guess in some ways you could say, but I know that he'll come back, and UH, don't don't even I don't worry about it. It's just let's move on

to the next one. If we worry about the last one where it's going to affect us and that's not who we're going to be, go get the packers. Thank you.
