Okay open it up right Thursday Night Football uh it's a fast turnaround um Good meetings today a chance to kind of Flush some stuff out of the system from The game uh from the game yesterday and Turn our quickly talk about some of the Dynamics from the game flush that out Digest it in get us ready for this week All eyes are on the Bears um had a good Practice good walkthrough session today Thought um thought the the the focus was What it needed to be Frank you you You're about next man up but with given The quick turnaround how many injuries You've suffered on defense last two Weeks how do you kind of reshape the Roster with the amount of you know Functions you have yeah um yeah there Was a good bit of time this morning you Know with Scott and EJ and and and Really and then we'll sit down again Here in a little bit um look at those Things this morning when we sat down Mike you know we still had some MRI Schedule still waiting on the results of Some things so and we do have a meeting Here in in in about another hour or so To kind of get some final reports on Things but hey a credit to uh EJ and the Defensive staff for how they've moved Those guys around got them playing good Football um so we'll continue to do that We'll work with the guys we got um every Man's got to be ready to go so um I
Think they I know they'll be ready how Close is Maris um he's he's getting close he's Getting really Close when you went back and watched the Tape were the pick six is kind of what You thought they were going to be or or Something else I did I mean it's just uh The pick sixes were it's that you know One in a million game where where you Got two of them in the game and um you Know it's unfortunate that you know the Plays Kenny Moore makes two good plays Um you know we got to find ways to avoid Both those things right under the one You know in the two-minute Drive um you Know kind of our first read wasn't there So we're progressing backside um and Bryce is super quick and super accurate At getting the ball out and Kenny just Played it right and undercut it second One was a screen pass they had it Covered and uh you know I mean the Screen pass is covered you know Quarterbacks know we just got to dirt That um you know we just got to dirt That so um we learned from that and uh We move on Frank you indicated yesterday That the lessons from a game like that Can be valuable for a Young quarterback How how do you as a coach help him Through that and help him make it a Valuable lesson uh I think two things You know one just uh continue to display
The confidence the authentic confidence That we have in him secondly you know Having been uh around the block a few Times and having as I mentioned to you Guys yesterday seen seen this happen to The best quarterbacks who've ever played This game um I don't expect that to make Him feel better in the moment I do hope That in the big picture it can give him Some perspective and in some very very Very small way help him move past it and Understand it's just part of being part Of being the guy week in and week out You are under the gun there and there's No place to hide and that's what we all Love about it and I believe that's what He loves about it he's a competitor and He's very resilient and uh and I know He's looking forward to getting back out There on Thursday are you guys signing Blake Martinez there was a report to That we are we are bringing him in um You know everything checks out you know Looks like we'll sign him to our Practice squad we got some from you know EJ he's he knows our defensive system You know a couple of our coaches have Worked with Blake before um so obviously With some of our injuries um you know We'll we'll take a look at that and see If that goes through get him on the Practice squad and see where it goes From there were you at his workout Recently I was what you think yeah I
Thought he looked good I mean you know The guys the guys uh play a lot of great Football you know he's played a lot of Great football thought he thought he Looked good in his workout and um so it' Be good to get him in Here be tough to get Brian on the field With the concussion protocol for Thursday he he's obviously your best Player what do you lose if you don't Have him out there it's like replacing More than one player or what I mean you Know like you said uh they he's you know He's our best player he's a he's a beast Um so you know we'll miss him um but you Know it's next man up you know and like You said I mean I'm not even thinking There's any chance of getting him Honestly I mean I don't even if he were There's a part of me like I can't Imagine let you know letting him out There um even if he wanted to go out There so Um yeah it'll be next man up I mean this Is again this has happened many times um We move on you had two I'm I'm sorry I Would imagine there's going to be Clarity later in the week but for now Preparing for the Bears quarterback when They when they're two very different Players what kind of challenge is that Yeah I think the challenge this week is We probably won't get clarity till game Time you know that's that's the unique
Thing of of a Thursday uh you know of a Thursday game because the injury reports Are kind of projected and you know I Mean they're honest injury reports but Since you're not going full speed you I Guess you know you don't really always Know but uh you know we've talked about That we'll prepare for both and um you Know and we'll adjust accordingly as we See how it unfolds and who plays the Injury issues you had two pretty young Guys step up in in the secondary DiCaprio and and cook uh how did they Perform and do you see them kind of Having bigger roles in V yeah they Performed well um they performed well um Uh Bole really did a good job um cook Also made some big plays you know young Players um getting an opportunity making The most of it so that they're prepared If it needs to be a longer rooll in that Position great if it ends up they move Back to a backup role that just makes Our team stronger so um credit to them For being ready and getting ready to go Can you talk about this week how Critical it is getting off to a fast Start that's been something that yeah we Just I was actually just talking about That with one of our one of our players You know like just talking you know our Practices have been so good um you know Listen we we we know what a good Practice week looks like in the last
Couple have been you know they've been Progressively getting better and the Last couple have been really really good And um and we need to carry that more Consistently over to the game and that Starts with how we start the game off um We need and that's what we were just Just talking with one of the guys we Need to start one of these games off hot You know jump out to you know like we Did against Miami you know we just um You know we need that we need that on a More consistent basis um so I believe That's coming I believe that you know Because of how good practices have been Um we'll carry that execution and you Know this week we start of the game we Had three crucial penalties that killed Us you know uh in the first quarter you Know I was sitting there and it's what I Wrote down you know after the first Quarter you know three crucial penalties In that first quarter that held us back From getting a fast start so we got to Clean those things Up you anticipate any changes at least To the offensive line or to the way you Guys used the running game probably not You know in a short week you know we we Probably not on a short week yeah Unusual situation where unusual Situation where you know you traded your Number your first round draft pick to The Bears and he added incentive I mean
To beat them so it's just it's not a Number one overall pick or you know I Mean is that play into your I know you Got other things on your mind Interesting question but I I guess this Is good I I had not even thought about That you know what I mean I mean we're Just this is um this just about trying To win the next football game um you Know one of the things I said to the Guys today is you know sometimes when You get in this position you know you Wish you could you look back and you say You know you know you want to change Some things that have happened you wish That somehow you could double down hey Let's just put it all let's put it all In this one game let's let's double down On everything right get it all back but That's not real life that's not real Life in the NFL that's not real life Period you got to take them one at a Time so this is just going to this is Our mentality whether no matter and I've Said this before earlier no matter what Our record would be right now now if We're doing it the right way if our Process is the right way we will take These week by week uh if it's a boxing Match it's round by round let's just try To win this next round so that's going To be our mentality get all the other Distractions out on that Frank and you You've discussed this earlier this year
But weighing winning versus developing Particularly Bryce but Everybody does it I mean has that been a Hard line for you to walk this year Um no we understand every coach and Every player understands that we're Really measured by both I mean winning Is primarily what you're measured by but I think there you know I think it's also Development you know when people see When fans see when the organization sees When the owner sees hey okay I want when I want results now well I'm not quite Getting the results but are we moving in The right direction are we making Progress that's the development that You're talking about Joe so and I think As a coach and as a player that that's Always in play all the time so um that's What we're trying to do both are both Are incredibly important David when you Guys made the deal with Chicago for the Top pick you said all along Bryce was Your guy all along um even back then Were there certain things that you said He's got to have to succeed this year And can you share what that might be um Now interesting question uh you know you Just look to build a team and it starts With with your quarterback and and he's Our guy and so and then you know we have A blueprint in our mind of how we build That team Scott and I have talked about That many times you know what what are
The pieces you know you have you know in On offense and defense there are you Know more you know positions the value Positions you know that you're trying to Get your best players in value position And uh and then filling out the roster From there so we want to stick to that Blueprint we know that some of that's Going to take time um we know we're Responsible for progress and results in The meantime but there is a blueprint We're following that blueprint um and You can only go so fast uh and confident With a lot of the pieces that we got Here excited about the pieces we got Here and um and know that we can win Football games uh with the p and that's Really our mindset hey the second half Of the Season Take It week by week and Win win some football games coming down The stretch thank you coach yep
