" Tom C. Down the I think five game like this -- puts a lot of that are going in the back here might appear members prepared to develop you can do they -- I made my job up for grabs tonight going to be changed. You have to think about your performance in the college who. Hum see your business so long it lays these little good. We'll wait for the number on the back of his Jersey. Every Friday would. --"

" I have fans following it ever got to start -- Sports Radio 67 of the score had him -- pay for the Dodgers did you kind of decision today is Brian outs and let's. Yet to -- a break and -- there this time they're segment brought to you by Mota worked bearings and see why they have over seventy. 5000 unique visitors each month. At motor works dot com. Tom -- does a great job never never comes -- flat on our sister station WBBM but from. I must tell you serve that was a shocking shocking performance by the Bears an infinite list."

" There was disappointing that -- wise and I think -- You don't stand on the field before the game and I was watching the players warmup from both teams that I got offense that there was it was a bit there was no inspiration there wasn't guys out there haven't fun it was a beautiful day the conditions were perfect. In the Lotta times that's. It's what you need to start the excitement -- and and then you think about. -- Minnesota didn't beat earlier in the day and that should come pollen and actually make it even more exciting and I was super disappointed. In the you know try to capture the emotional feelings before mops. Com in that no one -- offense came out for their first play and they jumped off sides. The bat it kind of gave me the feeling that there wasn't a sense of urgency to make sure that you're prepared from the very first play -- the game. When you go into that environment in especially when the team goes down and score you can't wait two or three plays to get into the game you gotta be in the big game in warm --"

" Tom mum Molina having any reaching argument the past threatening to turn into a fist fight Dustin Rhodes man effects that come across the glass a couple times to get in between us. About how the Bears are using Greg Olsen what the issues are. What are your thoughts are they putting him in bad situations. Why why has he not been more productive and what can be done moving forward."

" Problem -- against the pats. When you go back to -- to the Green Bay game. The other side their bread -- covering him and they're taking him out of the game on an against the -- off the line of scrimmage or is coming off the line of scrimmage in a tight end position. They're gonna bracket cover him and they're gonna make the quarterback go to a different option citing -- with the teams are doing against the pass. In that one might look at them against the -- I don't think Greg as a as a collision blocker I don't think he's a point of attack tight -- and I don't think he's a blocker on the back field that's gonna have a collision with a linebacker get a stalemate the movement. If you don't get this stalemate or movement you're just gonna close the whole. So I think Greg he he he added that sets he no he can be used he can be -- he can be creative and -- is. If you think he's going to be an impact fullback -- if you think he's going to be a real strength point of attack. Blocker on the line of scrimmage I don't think that's his forte either I think it's a matter of making sure that you use him in the right position at the right times. And and use his strength. You know when you can get that correct match up."

" He's he's hit tight end though he's got a decent pass blocking right."

" Yes but again you have to I think that's the responsibility of the -- that. I doubt coordinator and the Cole. If you think that you're gonna have a five stop extended pass protection and he's going to be blocking a defense command on an individual assignments. That's so that's that's a mismatch -- he can lose a majority of the time. Kenny be in the air and be heavy duty assistance where he's chipping -- offer to tackle on his way out of Iraq yet and he had to do that more aggressively. What dom anytime you think that you're gonna leave Greg don't want a one match up against the defense command. It bad that that's not gonna have to."

" I knew it was right -- he just said you're wrong -- spare the -- analysts. Point out our collective retention he. Tom I you and I are are in lock step -- Dan is out on an island Annika cornerback. And it burned by the way. I think its -- to -- Hey -- Tom you know the old adage is obviously at any given Sunday any given Sunday one team to beat him on any given Sunday add somebody to step up. Now that was of this proved a little bit by the Detroit Lions last year. And now in the league we're seeing a lot of teams that are defying the any given Sunday. A proclamation one of those teams is really Cleveland date they have played poorly. I think we we saw a statistic earlier in the week that them. That Cleveland the Rams and Tampa combined are one in twenty this year against teams that are favored against them. And they Ira I believe it is five and sixteen against the spread -- Vegas is losing money because these teams can't cover. And I know that's irrelevant but the point is that it's not in any given Sunday a week now this week -- for a lot of any given Sunday about the Cleveland Browns. But this is not the Sunday and we can't be the Sunday and you can't lose to this team it just as it's not possible that you could lose --"

" Well I mean it's possible but it's highly unlikely first of all I think the bears' post something to their fans an epic comeback and at the children it's. Tired early part of the stop talking to our in the crowd back at your side. I think right now the crowded. Kind of vicious mode easily giving that chance to talk to a lot of people during the week whether it be if they help clobbered down in Joliet where -- the case is. I think I I get a sense that they're center angry right now so they got to come out here against Cleveland and and they have to handle that I I don't think it's going to be easy because they do you have. You know somebody that they're going to be played against -- give a lot of you know give a lot of you know the shot I just for example he's not going to be easy to -- can go around for 500 yards right down middle of field you're not gonna do it's. Because he's a big body that's very difficult to move. I think. Cleveland they have no identity they don't know what they are they don't know they're led by Derrick Alexander -- they should go back to Brady Quinn. They don't know well you know should they get the ball to Joshua quit observe Massaquoi -- That there's a lot of computer on offense. It even on defense special a lot of variation of the different fronts because they don't know exactly how to control the game. Which they're they're based thirty forefront they change it up a lot man may get some players out of position and and they create mismatches against themselves. It then seemed like last week you saw -- Rodgers being able to exploit themselves. I don't I don't think Cleveland has any identity as to what that they actually are. Stay calm in every week -- try to reinvent themselves and see if that's what they're gonna go to bat with the rest of the season and sometimes that's scary for. That the team that's preparing against them because you don't know what to expect out of them a 100% of the time. -- your team that also making adjustments and changes and also and they try to confuse the line of scrimmage by put a variation of fronts up there. -- you know you have your own challenges to go through brought again I think. Even -- it's false enthusiasm that Bears have to come out and may have to have a lot of emotions early in this game in all three phases. So that Matt Forte basically contribute when their -- to 13 and long in the different scenario that the crowd can really help the Bears."

" He's Tom -- the Bears analyst at the pregame show starts on our sister station news radio 788 at nine -- alma. And then Tom and Jeff will take over the kick off at noon and obviously -- about just after 11 o'clock so that they have one of the greatest segments on radio. That knowledge I'll be there and sold him out a surprise you -- in the span I. I'm sure politics."

" Hey found you breakdown the tape is wells anybody. Molina -- talk a little earlier about the cover to some of the issues that the Bears have had with that lately. What are your thoughts on how the Bears are covering people that techniques they're using. And the the coverages -- calling."

" Beat Ohio -- law I think at this safety position for the Bears. But the the more experience they get the more in tune with the offensive they'll be enough I think LB and in fact or support positions. My concern with the Bears right now as last year when he go to the first game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts. The Bears will play and that -- defense -- linebackers are on the line of scrimmage. And it was very confusing at the line of scrimmage to the offense so why not necessarily Peyton Manning but -- confuse the opposite wind -- three new starters on the inside. So that that quickened the pace of decision making by the opposite wind than an expose them to. Gaps and it created weaknesses in the Bears were able to control the line of scrimmage. Now I'd seen him play that -- front and then I see them dropping that pass coverage there areas. It seemed like the -- Quarterback confined to a significant window of opportunity. Below this safeties bought a bottle bill linebackers. In the linebackers are coming from the line of scrimmage to back up. If you have an inexperienced opposite wind he had that -- front is gonna work even at this stage that's been around now for awhile. I think we have an experienced offensive line and he will play against an experience opera sliding Cleveland outside the center who is the young guys. -- those linebackers they get in position to be more distracted in the passing game to help the safeties rather than having them. Run from the line of scrimmage to get their pass coverage area because it's still. You know the six extra yards that they have to cover before that quarterback locates the receiver who they're gonna get the ball to so. He could have won subtle change like that allow the linebackers to play off the line of scrimmage to support the safeties to help them. -- To continue to gain knowledge of the offenses that are gonna play against but also to put themselves in more distracting positioned to keep that middle area of the field. Bombs away from the quarterbacks he's out of titles receivers come across not first play that first task game in the last week. Chad Johnson across the middle in the area in between the safeties and that the linebackers."

" Our town you do you're the best abysmally -- anybody I'd sure you picking Cleveland wanted to ask right. That big negatives. I thought I -- I thought it. Out it's it this is a Bears win it has to be if it's not. Or no don't even bring it up that would it's that is the unthinkable scenario."

" Well you know the players have to show that they're prepared and I I even think you know. You know when you go out there as a head coach you set I didn't have the players prepared. You know he also put a little bit of pressure on your coaching staff to make sure that they're not mental -- that when they -- the line of scrimmage they know the snap count. Then there's the adjustments that are made defensively and offensively in the line of scrimmage -- get everybody has their assignments communicated -- nonaligned."

" I -- take care but we'll see on Sunday our boys. Tom Thayer the players' analyst for news radio -- it."
