" They're given joins us as we always goes on Monday's act how are you off to a fantastic as you know can you just throw something in there in terms of the passion fire intensity argument yes that they. If we keep hearing people. -- realized Lovie Smith's two biggest influences as coaches when he was a kid he was Cowboys and it was Tom Landry at the very stoic wasn't a guy who rented enraged he ended up in the Hall of Fame. And then as a professionally it was Tony Dungy who didn't rant and -- in all likelihood is headed for the Hall of Fame Q. It doesn't matter what matters she's can you relate to your players can you get your players to perform at their best and execute at their best. Compare to the kind of talent that they have. You why Tony Dungy is headed for the Hall of Fame. I think he probably will be I think do you soup. Okay -- he had twelve how many somebody straight twelve or more wins seasons city have been a Super Bowl like I can -- okay. I I think -- historically when you look at it either in -- Newman and you're given the limited. He did today didn't. -- fumble on. He was a highly successful National Football League coach. So -- it which then there's nothing wrong with that with the Super Bowl ring which as we know around here those are difficult to come by so. I just wanted to get that out of the way now the biggest problem and I've heard you guys talk about -- the offensive line and to me it's it's the offensive line and overall it's the protection scheme -- in general and the biggest problem now because -- kind of know what your identity is. Eight weeks into the season and he played seven games you know what the Bears are on offense and what they are thirteen -- difficult to running the ball and then everyone wants to throw the ball like crazy which sounds nice but you can't protect the passer long enough to create those big pass plays. So what do you do with your offensive coordinator Ron Turner to meet the Bears have moved the ball since the bye week they have 373. Yards of total offense against Atlanta 369. Yards of total offense yesterday against Cleveland but the biggest problem on offense. The production inside the red so Lovie Smith's team has just in 44%. Touchdown conversion rate in the red zone."
" And it didn't really figure is you know I agree that they do move the ball between the twenties fairly well it's not even though your quarterback is getting killed and two -- place for my -- anyway Zach. What can you do in the red zone what what is there would be you know I mean again we we ask you LSU. If you can't get anybody block if you're having a difficult time in the running game you know despite the what do forte of ninety yards yesterday I would do when he -- I I'm not -- that would stop the that was like -- Twice this carries and yards he did it didn't feel like oh my god worked that even guess if you were back you -- feel that way."
" Nothing about that game felt. Good on offense right when you look at the scoreboard and yeah I know that the Cleveland Browns have allowed opponents to average 26 point one points per game and the Bears did what everyone else does they they they put up a lot of points against them but. It wasn't because the offense it was because they they did an outstanding job on special teams in the defense got those five takeaways now. From an offensive standpoint what you wanna see the Bears -- capitalize on your ability to get in the red zone make they've gotten into the red zone -- this season. But clearly whatever they're doing is not working now if you're Ron Turner I think you can do more and and what. What I mean by that is you have a quarterback that every one is an agreement on being one of these upper Echelon quarterback's right everyone's in agreement on that. -- about it a little early can't make it out but not everybody loses a decision is but I agree we've been wearing a nose tackle he can't make any of those throws he took he's a quarterback who is -- and and and you can utilize that to your advantage to bail out -- The Bears Rolen out of the pocket a little bit more where if you protect him that way and you you look huge. Utilize his skills to be able to on the move to make those accurate throws that you talked about did you have some big threat to the tight end position we've seen Kellen Davis. -- didn't in in some flashes make some outstanding catches inside the red zone same thing with Desmond Clark if given an opportunity I think Greg -- can do the same utilize your weapons because. Clearly I don't think you're getting the best out of your offense. Inside the red zone now I'm not saying that this is that a team headed for the playoffs not saying this is Super Bowl team. I I truly believe that they can perform better inside the red zone with the weapons that they have and the limitations of they have in terms of the protection scheme."
" Can roll outs need to be blocked two. There's there's nothing. Vick gets you out of blocking responsibilities have -- of blocking differently but that you still have to quit would you rather have this offensive line trying to stretch and move I think they would have they could. I think forte would be more comfortable running some of that for that one gap choice cutback stuff. They can't they don't have athleticism. But the quarterback dust yeah but the quarterback getting it rolled about -- kid. One out but every once in awhile I definitely that we."
" We haven't even seen it every once in awhile to meet -- the defense something else to think about and and that hasn't happened I think you can get a little bit more creative and I'm not saying that's the answer it may all. Male pro before all send on to to just be an offense that isn't capable of doing anything that we thought we can do at the beginning of the season but I. I I think it's fair to expect more from from the personnel that you have. Inside the red zone is if you're able to get into that position why can't you score can get easier when you get in that position. Well it should but I guess I'm just big you know by the time you get down to the red zone general your quarterback you bleeding from some some more on his body. It and then you what a role -- on the goal line I mean I don't know how -- I have I just I. You know I think they've tried some of this before they look for the little -- fascinating look at it today's seems to me. Like teams no worse somehow the already have the Bears figured out what they're doing and how do you change that the only way you can change that is by trying other things the things that we might not think. Or are successful but I think you become a little bit less predictable that way and I think the each -- the defense something else to think about other than the things that we've seen. For the first seven games of the season. He had a chance to speak of Lovie Smith his press conference today yeah. And now I meant to hit that earlier -- I apologize social slow on the trigger finger but this is his thoughts on the yet the inefficiency inside the red zone. We have to do better job of getting touchdowns plus we get down there for the first set to get down there. And then then of course instead of settling for field goals from time to time we need to get touchdowns -- And as simple as that you know the Bears have shown improvement in certain areas remember before the bye week that the big point of emphasis was the inability to convert on third down. As they converted 33%. On third down before the -- after the -- they're converting on 48%. Of the in third down situations so obviously they can make certain adjustments. I just don't think it's fair to say what they can't block that's it they can do anything. And it and just settle with that I I think there's enough talent on this offense to be able put some more points on the board."
" I've decided I'm just not sure where you go if you're rolling him on the going where you go without another -- the fielder -- if you look at Byrd Greg also knew Aurilia rode the bully doesn't seem to me you beat. All that effective -- I knew it was early and it seems like. Teams are sort of got the idea that well he's the only one who can be -- who -- other -- that -- thrown a short touchdown -- what's wrong with throwing a jump ball to a Kellen Davis sort Desmond Clark guys we've shown that they can handle attractive situation. You can't if it's going with the same thing again there's there's no magic play calls. I there really is not any way of all of a sudden making guys better. And Kellen Davis is not a very good blocker either so you have funeral and on the goal line. Everybody knows you pretty much in there to catch a pass. He's a better blocker -- Greg -- yeah but that's damning with faint praise get -- day as big as he has. He's a big and he isn't he does not get good leverage and is in line block."
" Since that happened this goes back to again and there is no magic -- no that's that's the number one thing that we have to put out their but. There are different things that you can't do that I think should be tried in so we'll see what they come up with this week because. I think you've heard Ron Turner slid an entity her Lovie Smith talked about how there around gathered that they might scale things back on offense I don't know what that means I have no idea what that means -- what I do know that they can do is try some different things to try and jump start this team inside the red zone because if it doesn't change going to be very long year if it does change. Then you have a shot perhaps it and making it to a meaningful December putt unless that happens you know Hawkins seeming change I thank you would."
" The things they've mentioned tool guys you know and we know that what has happened in the red zone too many times and interceptions that -- it. I I think haven't they should've asked him not to try to make it tough throw Woody more than a -- if you take the points equity poise and our Soldier -- I couldn't believe we're there. Booing him when he's throwing the ball away. We throw the ball back the end zone he's thrown the ball into the -- roll outs. Every good what are you going through the same people who were all over him and B Diddy throws -- risky pass that gets intercept think he's trying to make something happen. You're damned if you doing damned if you don't have seen."
" So I wondered the same thing that I didn't really understand and I also don't understand why the crowd. It goes crazy when the Bears sent the ball inside the red zone and it's third down. That's what you should be doing when the opposing team has the ball inside the red zone generally for whatever reason the crowd is quiet. When the Bears defense is on the field and the opposing teams in the red zone and they get really loud when the Bears have the ball inside the red zone making -- little bit more difficult for the -- a dome crowd and can they can they send him a message on the Jumbotron. No they're not allowed Illinois I. I like -- I actually asked this apparently you're not allowed to. Q well put up messages on the video board to influence the crowd it in the NFL so you can get creative for example with the Bears Jewish. When the offense has the ball in those critical situations. And the crowd gets loud if he -- you'll -- quiet offensive work but apparently that but doesn't do much good. I don't colors always quiet and done you know city even they've his old all the needs quieting people who vote yes I don't. I don't did it I I've never understood it it's something that at least since new Soldier Field was built. I think it's something that occurs with that it is in a regular fashion I've never understood it it it should be the other way around."
" Yeah you've been a lot of stadiums it is this unique to Chicago that was a stupid yet in terms of at a and I don't -- You know Greg they'll they only give us about what is the fourth phase or whatever there is that would is that I turned in his -- McCarthy the night before -- sound pretty stupid. If they're not making noise chewed it didn't try to disrupt the other team but they are making noise to disrupt their own team you."
" You know what's amazing though -- we've all this confusion I think Soldier Field is home to the third most false start penalties. By the opponent since 2005 but is amazing when you consider that sometimes. The crowd doesn't behave the way you would like them to fit for example in Seattle you can never have to think about this in Washington you never have to think about this as soon as. The opposing offense gets the ball okay."
" Wimbledon yes you don't always look like the big ole Seattle also one of my tests than they used to determined in basketball the intelligence of the fans. If you can see in what cities fans will cheer after a basket goes in that's clearly been waved off when the referee is pointing. Too good to the floor and -- on the floor not shooting fouls and is not in the air Madison Square Garden. Boston for example they don't go crazy. Here people who absolutely insane thinking it's a made basket. Orlando same way I didn't I'm just I'm shocked. That Bears fans would know better me who can do something about depth what I don't know what we can do I just know that we ought to stop being valued. We wanted to go to you know which have become the wind -- a third done in the red zone where he's where he's -- trying to quiet the crowd don't. Jay -- he had to do that. I mean by the time he gets done he's already bleeding from some other."
" Or sit in I don't know what you guys can -- or since the and by the way he wasn't believing until the fourth quarter I. I I keep reading that he does internally picture yeah I'm I'm I'm she knew he was angry internally had a very frustrated internally but but I. I was watching in the it's not like -- I was gushing blood at what we've all been there. -- accident you bite your tongue -- you know you have a Big Three hundred pounders -- earlier I don't feel but. Seriously. But but he was not gushing blood in the fourth quarter so I. I just won a point that out but they did in terms of yeah the crowd at Soldier Field the best way I can do is I think we're very passionate. Sports town when it comes to the Bears I don't necessarily know if this is actually put this -- for the smartest football town -- not -- Tom Jurich. Were you just sort of saying he's angrier do you know that he was actually angry no obviously I think got in talking to a ma on the post game show live after the game that yesterday I. I think in this is not just him but it's Ron -- the rest it's its entire offense I think they're very frustrated because. They feel they can perform better than what they have and the level that they performed -- so far this season. And they don't quite know why the figures and clicking him and that's the big thing going forward and for the most part again it. You see good things out of the offense you just not seeing it resulted touchdowns. And that's got to change any Nuggets tidbits we let you go yeah. Let's focus in on the and Arizona right now the next opponent because Anquan Boldin one of their best players the alternate receiver Larry FitzGerald has an ankle injury he had to leave in the third quarter of yesterday's game against Carolina. And could not return you know that's always a big deal and to date Ken Whisenhunt their head coach hinting that -- how. Laughs they cord -- Boldin out this week that's an option that remains on the table. I like an option for a guy like I got to go like after five interceptions starring Matt -- do. I like an option better although he probably cure the Bears a -- lighter. The pre season a couple of years they did fight stick figure my friend you gotta."
