 What happened last week? Where did things go wrong when you were able to maybe take it in and watch it with the defense? Well, I think when it comes down to it, it's kind of a broken record. But in order to be great on third down, you've got to be good on first and second. Unfortunately, we had some negative plays, had some penalties as well, which caused us to be in third and long situations, and those are tough to convert. Arthur was talking a little bit on Monday about the fine line between extending a play and pressing to force a play to happen. What's kind of an example of that that you've seen maybe over the course of the last few games? Well, I think specifically, there was a couple of plays, whether it was the interception in the last game of Thursday night, also a couple of third downs were taking a sack. We talk about all the time, in order for this offense to continue to hum and to be in rhythm, I've got to be efficient. And sometimes being efficient means throwing the ball away. It means scrambling, getting in a few yards, getting down. And I can do a better job of that. And I can help this offense kind of get in a rhythm, get going, and continue to move the chains. To follow up on Tori's question, though, you are so creative and have the ability to extend plays, but you've talked about the decision making on some of those. How do you separate those two things? Can you get one without the other, I guess? Yeah, absolutely. And I think when it comes down to it, if my initial reaction is to scramble and throw it, I think more times than not, those have been good decisions. I think when I start to extend it and I start getting pushed out to the sideline, sometimes those plays become negative and bad decisions. So just being smart, once the play is done and over, really just either dirt in it or trying to get a few yards, if I can. So how do you reinforce that with yourself? Is it a film study or through practice, or is it just having that mentality out there on the field? How do you do that? Well, I'm a practice guy. I'm going to work at it. Those are things that I've always kind of prodded myself on is just continuing to work. So those are things that I'll do out on the practice field. And as time progresses, those things will carry out on the field. When there's negativity outside this building around you, how do you approach that? How do you handle that? How do you avoid that? Well, I mean, yeah, I think at the end of the day, I just control what I can control. I try to be the best version of myself here for these guys and try to win games. What other people think or those opinions, I have no control over. I have no say in that. So the more that I can just focus on doing my job and being the best I can be for these guys, everything else will take care of itself. I mean, when it's a lot of attention on social media that starts as we move, do you then, I mean, do you have to talk to your family in some ways? Do you have those conversations? Because they're probably seeing the brunt of it on social media that you're not necessarily seeing. Right, yeah. I think that's kind of the nature of the beast, right? Especially at the position. Unfortunately, family members, friends, they do see those things. But at the same time, it is what it is. And the people that support me, that love me, that I've always been by my side, they take it for a grain of salt and move on. And that's what you have to do. People are entitled to their opinions. People can say what they want and believe what they want. At the end of the day, nothing that I can do is gonna make those guys think differently. I just gotta go out there and play better. Would you say, though, at this point in your career, maybe that you were more equipped to maybe dealing with that negative noise versus maybe your rookie season or things like that? Oh, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt. You know, obviously the situation I had in Tennessee, you know, I didn't, as much as I am as a people pleaser, you know, that did hurt when I was going through the situation that I did in Tennessee. At the same time, you know, I understand it is the nature of the business and it's a merit-based business and you gotta perform and going through the situation that I did in Tennessee, I think has ultimately prepared me for things like this. And understanding that, you know, at the end of the day, I just gotta do what I can to be the best version of myself for these guys. Was there something that you did to kind of focus on you, whether I don't know, talk to a therapist or a sports psychologist because the outside noise and being a people pleaser itself, you know, I know, too, it can be tough. So what did you do to come? I went down that path for sure. Some people at work, some it doesn't. You know, I did feel like it helped me for what I needed at that point in time in my life. But for the most part, at the end of the day, people that love me, that support me, that's all that I care. That's all that I really matter or think about. And when it comes on to it, I love the game. I love being out here with these guys and I'll do whatever I can to help them win. Courtney, you talked about being the fastest. You were a little too robotic. Did you feel like Sunday, you maybe got into your past? I don't know, that's hard to say. You know, obviously I really pride myself on being creative, creating plays. You know, I think conversations that Art and I have had, I've always felt like when there's a lull on offense and we're not playing very well or we're not converting and you know, there's not many points, I've always been the guy that like, I'm gonna go make a play. And I think sometimes that gets me in trouble. So just learning from those experiences, understanding that at the same time, I can just allow the game to come to me, just take what they give me, be efficient and this office can roll. Arthur kind of encouraged you to be that guy, to go make a play, especially when offense is in the lull. He encouraged me to be efficient. You know, I think it's just being smart, situationally, you know, taking care of the football, making plays when they're there and when they're not, you know, just getting this out of bad stuff. What do you see in the Bears' defense since they changed a couple of people up over there? Yeah, I mean, it is young. A former team, Nick Morrow is playing linebacker there. He's been playing great, I think, from the tape that I've watched. You know, obviously Eddie Jackson's been performing well. He's been a guy that's been doing that for a long time. Cornerback Janon Johnson has also played well. So weekend and week out, you got to play your best football and this is no different. Can you go have room to lean more on the Russian attack here? As it gets cold, you're not outside or anything. It helps that we play in a dome. You're right. Yeah, well, I have to see. You know, they say that, you know, I run game travels, right? And as it gets later on in the year, it is helpful. But at the same time, we still got to make plays in the past game. Going back to, like, do you have to actually talk to your family or your friends because they are running your account to you to just say, don't tell me about this stuff? I just want to try to understand how you approach it. Yeah, I mean, honestly, like I said, because I've experienced it before, I don't, I take a lot of that stuff as noise and I don't even really think about it. So conversations I have with my family is more just like, hey, it is what it is. And, you know, we'll move forward. Did you have to kind of train them in some ways for that? I mean, yeah, a little bit. It's hard, right? Like, you know, for my parents, it's like, you know, it's their son, you know, and they feel like they got to be defensive and all those types of things. And at the same time, you know, people are going to have their opinions and it is what it is. And I think we've grown to learn that at the same time, you know, you're always going to have people that support you. You're always going to have people that are going to be negative. You can't really control those things and move on and do what you can to be the best version of yourself. Anything else? Yeah, the quarterback, Sam Bourne, how's he playing to take it over for, I guess, where he's going? Yeah, again, he's coming and he's played well. I think, you know, they're scheme-wise. They do a lot of different things with movements. You know, they create problems for guys up front and he's created a lot of tackles just because of how they scheme things out.
