Nagy, Lazor talk Trubisky, offense | Coaches Show

I'm happy for them. I'm happy for just the way that they bounced back. They came with the juice early on and we got it going, which was great. I think we were able to just keep that momentum going for the rest of the game and able to get out of there with a good win. I'm interested to what you have to say about this more in detail, because you were quoted yesterday after the game that you sensed the vibe and and energy in the pregame. I mean, it's fifty six days between wins. It had a start

even earlier than that. No, they did, and it's hard. It's hard when you go six weeks plus a bye week in there makes us seven weeks, and so that's a long time that you're going through. A lot of the same talks, a lot of the same meetings, a lot of the same practices, but um, you stay the course. And then these players have done a great job of leading each other. I think the coaches have done a great job of staying on top of the players and

staying positive, as hard as that can be sometimes. And then on game day, let's face it, on game day, Uh, it comes down to the players. And they took it upon themselves before the game to have the fire and the juice and the energy. And it might sound crazy, but when there's no fans in the stands, it's hard and you have to create an edge. You have to you have to bring it on yourselves, and our guys did it and it showed right from the first play.

I don't think it sounds crazy because it's real. I mean, they have to. There's nothing in there. There's no juice. You can have a PA announcer or the music, you could have whatever to make it feel like a real game, but it's just not the same. So that does have to come from these guys. It does, and it's it's funny to think, like, you know, I can remember back to the first game in the season in Detroit when it was it was a shot when there's no one in the stands. Now you've kind of become used to

it and you understand it. But it's crazy to think of when we get back to when the fans are able to be in there, what that's going to be like in the appreciation for it. But without a doubt, you got to do it, and our guys did it and it helped us win all right, full game? How did it help that each phase did what it did well?

It was huge because you know, Jeff, we've been talking about this all season long, like we will have the defense play really well, the offense will struggle or this the you know, the special teams is kick and tail and the defense is playing well, and then the offensive and then the offense is the last couple of weeks playing well and our defenses struggle. Well, Now what we've done is our guys got to see us. It's a pretty cool deal when you put them all three together.

And so we did that and we're going to have an opportunity here with three more games to be able to do that again, and we got to see if we can follow up with that sour Our guys need, our players needed that, our coaches needed it. But there's you hit the reset button and you go back to what you know, what it felt like and where you're at, and especially against a good football team like Minnesota who's

coming off a tough loss. Matt, there's always a temptation to write tomorrow's headline today, and that can be used to describe a lot of things in life. Some are asking if this win makes a difference, And when you look at your team or you look at yourself in the mirror, that is a very difficult question to answer when you're a competitor. How do you look at it? So you know the way I look at it is. Every season is so different for every team, and the

automate goal is do you give yourselves a chance? Which means are you able to get into that into the playoffs? And every story is different, Every year is different, and our guys right now, this is what we're going through now. As good as it feels to be able to get a good win like that, the guys deserve that. Now. What we gotta do is we got to follow it up consistently. So we need to continue to get first downs on offense and stay out a third down. We

need to continue to be effective in the red zone. Defensively, we have to continue to pressure the quarterback and get sacks. Continue with the takeaways, special teams wise, keep making our field goals every chance we get, flipping the field right with the punts, getting fumbles if we can. And so when we do that, we really we really have a great chance, you know. And so we have three games left and it starts this week again with Minnesota. But

that's the exciting part. Is just another opportunity when you crystallize that performance. Is it what you envisioned this team when you started this season to be? Yeah? And and so the way I look at it is our defense for the season has been playing really well. I thought that if you really look back, there's three games with our defense, two against Detroit and one against Green Bay

where I just felt like that wasn't our defense. The rest of the games against teams this year, I think our defense has played really well, whether it's getting stops ben but don't break, not letting them score. Against Atlanted, we had a bunch of sacks and turnovers, and but we weren't sinking right and offensively, we had to change the quarterback we had. We were trying to we had some fluidity there at the offensive line. Some guys get banged up trying to figure out what the change of

the offense where we're at. And so now what you've seen in really the last three weeks is a little bit more of an identity on offense. And um, you know now that the defense yesterday picked it back up and we put it all together, and so there's a little there's a confidence that's going on right now with these guys, and that's what we got to be able to carry on over to Sunday. Is Mitch that difference maker with the confidence, Well, I just think that his

confidence is a big part of it. And and but that said too, I'm gonna go ahead and say that I believe that the consistency at the offensive line, um, with what we've done with those guys and where we put guys has really really helped out because it's helped it helps any quarterback out when you're able to run the football and when you can pass protect and so when you when you can do those two things, it's

going to always help all quarterbacks out. Now. Now you go ahead and you put a guy like Mitchell back there who is able to extend plays with his legs, and Mitchell right now, for his own good, is playing at a really high level. You combine that with an effective awesomouth offensive line are running back and running backs with CP and David that are running super hard, and you got a really good product. Let's talk about a couple of drives. I like the early second quarter drive,

Mitch was perfect eight for eight seventy one yards. You got that four man bunch to the right the quad, and then you throw back to Jimmy Graham with the touchdown beat Eric Murray and then the one right before halftime with Alan Robinson. Yeah, those are important, you know, because you're coming away with touchdowns and we have guys on that offense that can make plays one on one, so when you get in the red zone. We felt like going into the season that should be a huge

advantage for us. We got a lot of basketball players that can go up and get it, so that was nice to be able to get both of those touchdowns, and then we knew we were getting the ball the third quarter coming out and we want to be able to get a touchdown there. We got three, but just just hoppy of the way those guys have produced there. Mitch Trubisky goes into a shotgun, drags a receiver in motion to the right out of the gutty sticks into the belly of Montgomery. That crack turns into what can

you not do? The outside left half to forty forty five to the fifty. Nobody's gonna get up twenty fifteen ten five skipping into the end zone. David Montgomery half first snap, eighty yard gallup for six han. The Bears lead the Texans on their first snap for the game offfectively,

David Montgomery marching into the end zone. A tutty as Matt Nee he likes to say, Tuttyville in that first half last two games, Big Matt, My goodness, but you gotta go back to November of nineteen eighty eight, long before you were here against the Packers Neil Anderson the last eighty yard run in Bears history. The Chicago Bears improved it. Supporting Chicago small businesses, Bark Bark Club is this week's Small Business All Pro visit Chicago Bears dot

com slash Small Business All Pros to learn more. There are still shots of the blocking and the hole that you probably haven't seen pictures of David Montgomery's run. It's pretty impressive. It's a huge canyon. Well yeah, it's it's beautiful. And you know, uh, we we always talk about the safety in these defenses. Uh, sometimes you don't have guys

that account for these free safeties. And so when you call run play, you go ahead and get the first and second level blocked and the third level that's safety that's on the running back. That's one on one on

the running back. And when you go back and you look at this and you see number twenty read he comes down, he breaks down to go ahead and make a tackle, and David just goes ahead and gives one little stiff arm and makes some miss and from then on it was a rob down the sideline that was able to really just get in the cornerbacks way and spring thirty two the rest of the way. So just to well executed play by these guys and to start the game with the ad our touchdown run was was

really pretty cool. Well, he's not a four three back and it doesn't matter because he still hit twenty miles an hour apparently according to So you go, okay, that's fast enough, right, Matt, Yeah, we'll take twenty for sure. Yeah. I was joking with him, telling him that he looked like he was four four eight there and got a little chuckle. So he'll be pumped up about twenty miles

per hour. Let's talk about the tight ends because if you if you combine the production of Cole and Jimmy, not just in this game, but for the season, it's it's a significant jump obviously from a year ago, but it would it would put them in the top five in terms of yardage and touchdowns eight and almost six hundred yards of tight end production for one individual. So obviously that's a significant jump. What's it doing for Mitch and the offense right now to get that production? Yeah,

it's truly helping us out. I mean, you know, Cole Comet has just been really coming on late, and you know, in a perfect world, it would have been great to get him going a little bit earlier. And there's you know, you're learning this offense, you're learning that you never played an NFL game before, So it does take a little

bit of time. But at the same point in time, he's done everything we've asked him to do, and now you're seeing he's getting more targets, he's getting football more and that play he made yesterday on the on the bootleg uh in the flat, just having three or four guys try to take them down and then no one get him down. Um, he's got great energy, and Jimmy's done a great job at being a mentor towards him and and explaining to him how you do what you

do on and off the field. And those two guys together are really doing great and it's a huge it's a huge deal for our offense. Well does it also give the team a bounce? There's probably a half a dozen guys yesterday that you could put that label on them. Yesterday Cole obviously, and the way Montgomery finished his runs. You could talk about the way Mitch made his decisions. You could talk about Khalil fighting again through all the knicks that he's had been on the injury reports seven

times this year, but he shows up. Mario Edwards had his best game. You could say, I mean, there's a bunch of guys in that in that category isn't there, Yeah, there are. They're they're playing hard, Jeff. And that that's what I love about these guys is these guys man,

they're they're they're warriors and they care. Uh. And sometimes it's harden, you lose six in a row to keep that fire, but they've done that and when when they and then they feed off of each other and David Montgomery and you know, this kid's been running his tail off for a long time and I'm just excited for him now to be able to to have it come to fruition. And again, I'll go back to I think the consistency with do line is helping. You're feeling that.

And then these guys that they're all Jimmy and Cole and these other types, they're all blocking. Uh. Last week they were blocking really well for the run game. This week really well. So it's it's pretty cool. Defensively, Tollyeah. If there's any sign of a team that is not quitting, all you gotta do is look at the blocking because that's one too, that's effort and it's happening. That Anthony

Miller cut block on the Mooney touchdown was outstanding. I take that on any offensive line and today that cut block a rob special teams play. I mean there's a lot of that going on here. And that's just not something you just talk about. That's something you need and that's something that shows you that they're listening to you. Yeah, and you know what, Jeff, But I think where it starts is there there are practices. The last couple of weeks have been super fast. The tempos, the speed, uh,

the the energy, um, it's been really really good. And that's what keeps you really optimistic as a coach is when you see that as to where these guys are. So they're taking that and they're transferring that to the game. And even like special teams, you talk about a guy all this stuff happens with turnovers and you got a guy like Sherik McManus who comes on down and just makes a great tackle, strip strip fumble. Um. Those are huge plays and and and a lot of times they

go unsung. And I just feel like our Special Teams coach Tabor, coach Ganner doing a great job too. Yeah, he played his tail off, three tackles on top of it, he was around the ball at all times. And then you know, you can't look past the Cairo Santo stretch right now, right now, he'd have a single season record in terms of accuracy in various history if he keeps this up over, up over. Yeah, that that's real, and you're you know, that's that's when you get into these games.

So many games are won and lost by a field goal. Right now, he's kicking with a lot of confidence and the other parts of the the field goal team are doing well, So we gotta keep that calling. Watching Chase Prock out of the end zone sack for the safety and the Bears were relentless pressure. Khalil Mac gets it done. Welcome back to the Bears Coaching Show, brought to you by Whippley CPAs and Consultants, a proud partner at the

Chicago Bears. Learn more at Whippley dot com. That was one at safety sack Matt was one that was a terrific play, first of all, And is that an example. You know people talk about scheming receivers open, you could also scheme pass rushers open, and I thought that was the case going up against a struggling guard right now in Houston. Yeah, so you know, we we had one here.

We had a little stunt here where you know, fifty two is gonna go ahead and go down inside with a game on Zach Fulton, their right guard and uh, you know, Roquon's coming down on the tackle. Their guard gets edgy, turns his hips, and Khalil's able to just get vertical and then all of a sudden, abroad comes on and Deshaun has nowhere to go, and it just it happens to be a safety. So those are games, Those are pivotal plays that happened for us to get

the ball back. But I just I was really happy for Khalil because he's been fighting really hard this year, playing hard every single play, and it's nice to see him get rewarded for it. One of eleven hits on Deshaun Watson, that's a lot. He is a moving target.

And seven sacks overall of quarterbacks. With Aj mccarrott also getting sacked by the Bears early on, we just starting to get a little itchy, a little worried because they were getting there but they just couldn't finish, and he was picking up some yards and moving them a little bit a little bit. But at the same point in time, as you know, I mean that that's what this kid, does you know DeShawn does that he's he has He

finds magic ways to get out of trouble. And there's a couple times where we lost a little bit of contained, but he's a really good football player and some of those are going to happen. I thought the rest of the game, when we made him one more one dimensional, we did a better job. How's Jalen Jackson Hopefully pretty good. You know, he banged up his shoulder a little bit, I think on that hit when he stopped to Sean

from the touchdown there at the one yard line. But he's a tough kid, and uh, you know, we'll keep a good clean eye on him this week and hopefully have him ready for Sunday. All Right, DHC made another play, gets in there, makes a play every time. He's a smart football player. And then Duke Shelley wasn't really focused on by Houston at all. You would think that that maybe be the case. But how did he look? No, they both did really well. DC. Like you said, you know,

he's a role player for us. It just always comes up big and I love what he does on special teams and then what he's been doing for us this year with some big plays on defense and you just rely on that. And then for Duke Shelley to come in and have a great opportunity, I thought he fought his tail off. He went in there and got into the Briar patch a little bit and the run game was able to make some some plays and it's the stage wasn't too big for him. So that was good.

The Briar Patch. I haven't heard that one helped me out on the Briar Patch. Yeah, just in the run game with all those big boys, all the all the all the people in the trenches. He was able to stick his head in there. Hey, I gotta ask you because this morning with your Zoom Media interview with the local media, somebody asked you about is this the key to unlock Mitch's potential? And you said, I think it's real. I think it. It caught a lot of people's attention

given his journey and where he's at right now. Can you amplify a little bit on what you are looking at in that regard with Mitch. Yeah, I just think as a quarterback, and you know, any position, but we're here, we are talking about a quarterback. There's there's always growth in different ways and when it happens, and you know, he's he's had a very interesting first four years in this league and a lot of different highs and lows

for him. But when you when you talk about somebody that cares immensely and you talk about the resiliency, persistence of a resistance, you talk about how to handle highs and lows. Right now, with where he's at, he's in a really good place and so that's about as real as I can be. I appreciate that from him. Again, Well, we're just working on day to day, week to week right now with our team and with him, and that's all he wants and that's all we want. So we're

in a good place. We feel good about it. I'm happy for him, and uh, you know, you got to give him a lot of credit. All right, let's talk Vikings rematch. You're right now tied in second in the NFC with the Vikings, so we know the magnitude of the matchup. It's massive. Nineteen thirteen the first meeting, rather nineteen thirteen finish in that one. What's different? If anything gets You've noticed? I know Ierf Smith didn't play against the Bears in the first game, but he had a

nice game against Tampa yesterday. Another weapon on their offense. Yeah, he's a special player. He didn't play m I what I think is, you know, I go back to that game offensively for us was we didn't do very much and we had and one of the things that we were harpering on all year to the defense, special teams and to our offense was let's get better field position. Well, our defense did a great job at containing Dalvin Cook

that game. I think he had thirty carries for ninety six yards, and we had great field position, but we weren't able to capitalize offensively, and it was a it was a struggle and they limited us yard watt yardage wise. We didn't score obviously, I think that was the game were you know are we just didn't score a lot of points. For thirteen points, you can't win with that. So I think for our offense, let's have a let's have a better game, Let's continue to play well in

defense and use special teams our advantage. All right, good luckily prep this week. We'll talk to you throughout the weekend. Nice win, Thanks Jeff, take care of him. Snapped Trabisky and a quickly sharth screen right side and Mooney great block to the ten to the five. Moony gets the front pilot and is he in for the touchdown? He is? Touchdown? Bears. Hey Bears fans, been shopping for your game day celebrations, don't forget to pick up your favorite variety of Las

Potato chips and tostitos. Tostitos and laser in essential part of the game day tradition and the official chip of your Chicago Bears. Go Bears, and a nice win to come off of. As we greet Bill Lazier, the Bears offensive coordinator, back with you on the Bears Coaches Show, brought to you by Whiffly CPAs and Consultants. Good evening, Bill, How fun was that? How fun was that yesterday? Winning is always fun and that was a good way to do it. I'd say we had the Turbisky to Mooney touchdown.

And when the thing starts with everybody contributing, including the blocks by Anthony Miller and Allen Robinson, you know everything's clicking. How do you think that's come on here in the last few weeks, overall blocking with other than just the offensive line, Well, I think I think it's a sign of guy's commitment, you know, and guys willingness to do

whatever it takes. I think you go through tough times like we have, a lot of soul searching can go on, and I think guys, you know, when you're talking about receivers and skill players having to commit to work for each other, you know, to be aggressive and physical and a great teammate even when they don't have the ball. Those are the kind of things that you show you that people have bought in that they're going to do whatever it takes to get to w did you do

your own soul searching? Well? You know, part of it was was our bye week, right we had, Yeah, we had some time to spend a whole lot of time looking at ourselves. So yeah, I think I think you try to evaluate yourself as as a unit as you go throughout the season. The bye week gives even extra amount of time. And if all the answers were easy, we certainly would switch things up right away as soon

as we saw them. Sometimes they aren't easy answers. It's everything from scheme to personnel, to matchups with the particular team or playing well. You know, we try to do a great job evaluating all of it, and I think we have a little momentum going right now, you know, and obviously the win is the key, but I think even before that we had started to gain some momentum on offense. So we're gonna do everything we can to

keep it going. What did you personally like the most about the offense of execution yesterday, aside from the obvious and scoring touchdowns or whatnot, but something more, maybe nuance that we don't see that you see. Well, I think you mentioned the the blocking, you know, on the perimeter. I think I think when that shows up, that tends to be the sign of a group that's committed to

each other and doing the dirty work. Uh. There's some really good pictures of some of our offensive lineman chasing plays down field and being there to pick up the ball carrier, whether it was a running back or a receiver, you know, after the play, help him off the ground. So those are the kind of nuanced things that I

think that you're asking about. But those things are showing up, and you know, I just think I think they're they're examples of how the guys how committed they are right now, you really feel I think Matt touched out it you feel you found the right mix for what you have available to you on the offensive line. Well, I think this group obviously it helps. I think people know this, but I'll say it anyway to gain consistency on that group as far as the same guys in there working together,

that always helps. Uh. And it's it's everywhere I've been coaching. You know, some of the some of the toughest time. So when you shuffle on that group around and little things come up, that typically gets solved by time. You know, guys communicating together, working together. So I think the number one the consistency of the same group being able to

work that really helps. Number two. I think it's a group that is a bunch of smart guys who are really good communicators, who understand football, and there's so many complexities that can go on with different defensive blitz schemes and adjustments, and gosh, it's hard to play on the offensive line in the NFL if if you aren't bright, if you are a quick thinker and a good communicator, and some of the communication is really subtle and really fast,

and again it just takes them working together to get those things down. Snapped Cherbiski for the empty spread, tosses it quickly over the bent of Rabbits in the catch down touchdown Bear Welcome back to the Bear's coachesr Show, brought to you by Whippley Cepation Consulting that right before the half touchdown throw to Alan Robbins and himself a big day. The communication between Mitch and Alan clear on that throw and Matt touchdown at this morning with the media.

He trusted himself, He trusted the communication. Would you agree when you have two guys who've worked together for a while now and obviously have proven that they can they can connect the subtleties of adjusting to different coverages and you know those things. Some of that's built in training camp and offseason work when you go into defense, and some of it is just built with live reps on games.

And you're talking about two guys who've spent a whole lot of time throwing and catching together, and I think it shows. Let's talk more about Mitch h really on target on throws that didn't go more than ten past the line of scrimmage twenty two to twenty seven had streaked now of seventy two drops to throw without a pick. He said he's living in the present, and I know what that means. But maybe for every player and every person it is different. But is that reflected in his performance. Well,

I think he's in a good rhythm right now. I think, uh, you see, you see a good mix of different things. We did not throw as many or try to throw as many balls over their head this week. Just the way it worked out. We got a couple, you know, a couple down the field, but not as many. But you know, sometimes you have to play the game a certain way. And I think for this game, his rhythm was good when when he didn't like it down the field,

he was getting the completion on the checkdown. And I think that's the sign of a good NFL quarterback, you know, of just knowing when do I take the shot and win? Don't I? And it isn't an exact science. It happens fast, you're in the pocket, you don't always have perfect view of it, and you have to make a quick decision. And I think right now we really trusts Mitch's decisions of those types of things, and it's it's paying off

for us. And that's why, you know, look at at David Montgomery and the production he's getting in the passing game right now. Some of those things are directed right at him, and some of them Mitch is living down the field and coming to David, and then David makes people miss. Yeah, let's talk about Montgomery. The eight yard run certainly catches everybody's attention. The blocking was unbelievable and he gave all the credit to them. But you know, he's got to finish the run. He finished all of

his runs and he keeps doing that. That's his aggressive nature. What kind of pump up does that give the offensive line? Because the facts are the facts that the three first games, in the last three games, if you add all that up, it's it's almost six yards a carry and all six games over one hundred yards rushing. Well, I think that's a big part, a big part of the momentum we're feeling right now. And it's not just in the run game.

I think when the quarterback sees that when he can dump the ball down on a checkdown and then watch that guy make people miss an open space, it gives him confidence. You know that, uh that I don't always have to throw it down the field. You know I can I can balance it, and David's gonna work for us. So I think all those things are working together right now,

and I think we're in a good spot. And I think when you start the game off with a lot big play like that and you watch a guy, you know, the line, the lines job on a lot of those deals that hey, can we get him to the safety, you know, if we can get him clean to the safety, then let's see what happens. And they did, and David made the safety miss and Alan Robinson kind of, uh, you know, gave him a little uh yeah, a little help running down the field just to make sure no

one's going to catch him. But I didn't look like anyone was catching him. No, not not not on that day anyway. A lot of juice, a lot of juice. You'll you'll likely get asked about this when you meet the media this week. They'll look at the ten carries after the adr run and thinking like, okay, man, this has been a twenty five carried day for for Montgomery.

But when you add up the touches that equally as important because he's in the passing game as well, and he gets up to about fifteen or sixteen right there, I think. So you know, we we don't we don't you know that we don't go into the game necessarily saying that this is what the fantasy stats are gonna be. We we look at what's the best way to attack this this team, And you know, I think for the backs running passed together, you know, if the balls in

their hand, the balls in their hand. And also you know, uh Patterson's gonna play at running back too, and sometimes some other guys. So I don't think you can you can worry about the touches. You just just like as coaches, right you just say, hey, this is this is the position I'm in right now, how can I best help the team. I think we've got a whole group of guys that are approaching it exactly that way, you know. And you couldn't have a greater example than David. You know,

he's gonna be a big part of pass protection. He's gonna be a big part of the passing game. And he's gonna sometimes he's just by him getting out on his route fast, he gets somebody opened down the field. I mean that that's football, you know, and that's in the NFL. You really have to balance I think Okay, this is our identity like you asked earlier, and this is what we can be with. What do we need

to do to win this game this week? Right in that kind of focus, and so there's a balance between those things, and that's why the number of touches goes up and down. But the other thing about footballs, they all count. Every play count. So the eighty yard or does count and we'll take it when prices every day until December twenty fourth with the twelve Days of Bears Giveaway sweepstakes at at at Chicago bears dot Com and double your Chances with the Bears Official app brought to

you by Verizon. A couple of more moments here with Bill Laisher, the Bears offensive coordinate. I want touch on third down because I went back looked at one point, there were seven games this season where you guys had anywhere between fourteen and sixteen third down opportunities, and the last four games it's been about ten or eleven. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but that's a range of four to five few or third downs to

deal with. How much of a difference does that make in your play calling and in the offense ability to move to football. Well, we'd rather not get to third down ever, so, um, just because it's a difficult, right, it's a difficult down in football in general. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's it's rough. You know. Some of it just depends on how many drives you're getting in the game, right, It's just just how the game is going. And as we've seen, some games tend to go fast

back and forth and some games go slow. Uh So, so some of it's depending on how many drives you're getting. And certainly our favorite drives are the ones where we don't get to third down. So uh, you know, number one, we just have to focus. You know, you're gonna have some of the games, so let's get better at them. And we are constantly evaluating what should we do when these third downs to put our guys in the best position. But yeah, well when we can, when we can eliminate them,

I think we're all happy. Well let's say look at the Vikings that was your first game calling plays. What can you learn from that matchup that can be useful in this one. Well, I thought, you know, no surprise, I thought they they played extremely hard. Um, you know, they certainly gave us some trouble with their blitz packages. You know that we weren't go happy about how we

handled some of that stuff. So you know, well, I think the players and the coaches here are familiar with the scheme, which doesn't count for anything, I mean, until what you do on game day. But I think we'll do a good job evaluating what went wrong the first time. Obviously we did not possess the ball very well, number of plays production, average game per play. Because of that, obviously total time, it was another one of those that

was a poor third down day for us. So there's a lot of negatives you can pull up from it, and so we just at this point of the week, you just start at the beginning and you start chipping away. It seems like when you look at that first game, you say, well, gosh, I you hate to play this team again. They just crushed us offensively. But you just

go one piece at a time. You look at first downs and look at second downs, you look at third you look at shortyards, and you just you just handle each area and then after a while you just say, okay, we've got some momentum right now, let's make sure we carry it forward. And I think I have a feeling Wednesday are guys who going to come out and have

a really good day of practice. And I think the way we've been practicing lately has really shown up with how we've been playing, and so I'm expecting Wednesday to be a really good day.
