" Break it down and hope the most appropriate timing of a bye week. In the history Chicago Bears football if you -- delegate -- back go get these if you release the ball back. They'll be able to heal up DeVon they'll be able to heal up Johnny -- all these guys that have little. You know things about it inside their body that down there get the chance to heal up now. I just got some nice pictures --"

" It lawyer Stanley if jagr Sports Radio think that was. Laura love record shows out there that was -- your -- Iraq among -- that -- again. This our best Osama weekly Friday visit we look forward to adopt their market by -- of -- them. Well personally 5000 unique visitors each -- Butterworth. And let's get out the odds -- Are hot item of the the man that you've been following you -- even believe Catholic high in Notre Dame and at Chicago within the Bears some people forget that he is much it'll Wrangler. As as one Brett Favre sitcom better."

" I'm -- and I. -- Barack Barack jumped up and Todd yeah. Hopefully very."

" greatly behind the glass and have to come out for at least at the K but at times taken notes those notice how brave we are bright immediately tells you was -- it was a nonsense right. We live in fear Tom. -- We're not idiots and a good -- the Bears color analyst for BB damaged we will mode does a great job with two of -- act and that. And and you get the bye week and and here you we get a chance to cannot pick apart the team it's only a quarter of the win of the season forty's in. And death I was quiz in lobby of their about some of the third down stuff -- He's like you know heatley finally went to four weeks you know everybody did real well I didn't but I was you know we're just -- everything's in my -- I would comes in the bye -- we have to break down and it doesn't look good we're we're seeing a team in progress that's actually the fact that we don't know we're there yet."

" Right by you know I think you can evaluate his team did some signal an evaluation at a lot of individual. Positions and perhaps above their football team from game one to game four they're not you got kind of like the school and I felt about treating you got twelve games. Where you're sat up where you can you know. Take a lot which you aren't one of war in used it through the next you know twelve games and and -- the football he's been here I think he's definitely have an opportunity to get better -- offensively. -- opportunity you start constructing specific packages depending on what were you on the field to really take advantage of the assets you have in the color the receivers. I'll be the -- ability of Matt Forte catch in the bottom back field and and running and on the inside so I figured a lot of good you can do here in the next twelve weeks."

" Tom miked anomaly than right about that day and it advancing here on the air that that's -- to use packages as you said. And start getting more explosive plays on the offense. Are the first capable doing that they still seem old school evil Jay -- on the scene now it seems to me that they still -- the team that doesn't really want to roll the dice and and and develop stuff they'd rather have a place to set up a play a couple snaps on the way."

" Well you know I think winning inconsistency of -- maintaining our running game that hopefully commit to achieve that -- yards a carry what you start with bat. And then he again about -- play action pass into the mix then you start you -- downfield opportunities. But I I think you have to have that initial track. Respect they'll love your opponent. In -- and you can start implementing you know the different packages all over the field if you want and have a big player -- explosiveness but not Earl Bennett and Democrats here or they're confined space and you want you to. Great -- tight end packages to adults and Dez Clark and Ann Kellen Davis here in all you're really you know that -- Yeah where you are in the field and and where you are inside the drivers -- inside the game itself but again. You know running the ball and an opening up all the packages from there."

" He's Tom -- joins us every week -- Tom -- you look at the offense and you know you don't. Dennis is that this is a difficult situation because you don't wanna -- criticized play calling but sometimes. When I talk to players you'll you'll get this thing about how they're running plays. -- they've been running their for five years in other words the running game is the same running game. But they've had since Thomas Jones Benson Anthony Thomas you go back over it. They they haven't really changed much in the running game is that common or uncommon Duke teams. Evolve plays out of the running game or do you just want to run the same play every time."

" I don't this spring. It's the same running plays and that's what Marty put it and if you go up there and you look at that to go off Clinton garnered two linemen pulling sweep -- old school. If you look at all the plays they're the same play they're not running for football for generations incident you're not gonna get. Quality guy and fielder are eleven guys standing and I formation you don't."

" Different formations right I mean I guess I guess it's it's the same thing it's covered sometimes where if you're not disguising it somewhat not -- all right I don't know."

" Well it's it is that the it's all the same it's that the ability to manipulate -- the line of scrimmage. But again having a threat of the running game allows you open up -- manipulate the line of scrimmage. Have a guy like Peyton Manning and in all of these guys that are real creative at the line of scrimmage bacon to a lot of big picture. You don't want it's sleeping -- looking at. If you go back and felt in com Atlanta Falcons I think it was knowing -- they got into a wildcat formation. You know he's got a running back that's -- accept the shotgun snap he got running backs genocide and and you have lump sum wide receivers. Stretch of the stretch in the field they still a lot of power all. It -- don't think they're gonna have it wrong some special kind of device played its gonna confuse everybody at the line of scrimmage. Because no matter what they have been there it's still Apollo all the defense -- the defense the linebackers are still reading the saint Marines they would have there was all lobby our quarterback in the shotgun formation so. -- The fundamentals and techniques come on every single play that make off of the plays work you're not gonna start. -- laying on guys out there and start getting them completely copy all off direction because you're running some new -- play."

" But but I guess you know I don't know if we you talk about the personnel you talk about that this did DM formation they they ran a play. With where Olsen was the fullback and Garrett Wolfe was the running back and they wrote they randomly ran up the middle field and went nowhere."

" Right while the you know what all due respect to Greg abilities Greg has not fullback -- not he's not a point of attack all back. So you think that he's got a couple of fullbacks they have to meet a linebacker in the hole and win the battle most of the time you're not. Because that's not what Greg is built for that something that you don't want offensive lineman -- Jason McKie type guy that that's what their duties to ourselves. It's the got to look at them -- The person the personnel you have in the first Pacific."

" So we're not because he trips to one side is racing and Agassi pastor Bennett no. -- lined up on one side that they -- little diamond formation stuff everything they've."

" You know you. I I think -- creative that you can get and the older got to be experiences and j.'s path but you gotta be able to armed. Do you use you know the different formations he's seen it in their bats well. I think creativity on the opposite side of the passing game. -- you your opportunities are unlimited really you can devise a lot of different --"

" I know you can't I just what are they will have --"

" I mean I you'd like to think -- body abuse if you think that things are going to be more creative and around game now you're still gonna get the same. They did can't play that bad outing here since the inception of football."

" That's -- on paper for the playbook there. He's out they have to get. I defensively. The united state which we talked about that their reliance on the blitz and and they've been very aggressive with it and obviously. You look at the numbers and -- of the third day of the third most sacks in the league so that's contributing. To -- and -- defensive ends are doing a very good job. You know I guess and nobody -- example -- Wire to get off the field more on third down is it because people have beaten the blitz are you opening step up with the blitz is it because the coverage is a little bit back. I know do you play amazonian up plain man. When you did in the cover two steps oh. Why by the third down completely prevented teams have third and ten plus more than any team in the league and they bought. Allowed I wanna say in 36 -- 35 point 5% conversion rate."

" You know I think it's actual protection -- you get protection not sudden long their vulnerable areas against the Tampa cover two defense -- And that's a lot of you know -- don't think about it so I I think if you. Georgia cornerback you're playing against them an experience just got harder and chronicle lost Serbs are often harder stuff lot harder -- if you get them try and Nadal. -- again creative pre snap read at the position of his shape he's gonna give them the best opportunity ignore the football Chagall. The minute they get coverage a lot of time -- called air column because they're the vulnerable adult and I I think that's going to be the case that. -- as long as the pace for the past sources picked up and you don't allow the quarterback to get into a comfort only gonna have a difficult time completing those passes. But it become up against quality offensive line regular quarterback -- they're always going to be able to expose them vulnerable area -- I think that's the case at times."

" You Molly were down there for that down horrific loss at Atlanta last year that the players were actually celebrating on the sideline. And end annexing you know there's. Lost be putting her your column. How does lobby handle that as a as a former player Tom wouldn't when you know you're gone back to the scene of the crime. Do you want the coaches to reference that you wanna -- Tenet never happened is there a fine line you can walk there as a team. Two maybe get a taste of what it was likes legally go back there with a stinger -- that are -- handle that."

" You know it's going to be talked. Because the only -- he got timing and it's going to be its subject and try to locker what are your keys Rashied Davis has been making unbelievable touchdown catch with eleven seconds left and everything you know the rock opera moment he beat. I think the bigger picture is you gotta pay attention this year Atlanta Falcons -- flashy kind of went there not knowing what Matt Ryan was gonna do for the Falcons. Turned out to be an unbelievable rookie quarterback. This year you know what Matt Ryan about what Tony Gonzales about what their running game and about. There's a lot more respect for the Atlanta Falcons in terms of preparing for this year edition. But yet it's not going to be it's going to be hard not to talk about it because it's going to be a topic of discussion but I don't think it's something that you dwell on. It'd affect the way you prepare for this year in Atlanta Falcons. You talk about coming off a lot bye week that's really got some momentum in their favor they have to go out there and win the game. They can't sit back and sit there and think about if they want the game last year things might have been different. Now this year they got to go out there and win -- football game in Atlanta is a very good in the adult. Fast football team they play a little differently on the road that they have to be prepared for real aggressive pace. He's such an offer to trot."

" Are great stuff that what do what does attempt they're doing the -- he would use system breakdown tape pretty at osu and Texas has of people."

" Early exit photo -- you guys -- your thoughts on the home number league that is I. I'll be all I doubt emigre -- by -- long do you -- outdated bidders and."
