Watch Matt Bowen.

Bowen's a tough guy. Matt Bowen. And it's intercepted by Matt Bowen. Miller, a ton of time. But the coverage is good with Matt Bowen. Seven-year NFL veteran. Well, it's coming from Bowen, and he knocks it out. The wrenskins fall on top of it. Matt Bowen's been the guy applying all the pressure. Coach for an I-C. Catholic football. Matt Bowen? Man from Glen Ellen, Illinois. He's very active. NFL writer and analyst for ESPN. First thing, Lawrence is alignment and assignment. You gotta know it. You have to know it. That's just a cover charge to get in uniform. Can you line up? Can you execute the call? Can you execute audibles? Can you

execute motion as a wide receiver? As a wide receiver, can you convert routes versus single high

and split safety coverage post that? There's a lot of things that go into that. But those are the basics

you've got to have. You got to have those. And if that's one of the issues, then that's not good enough.

Matt Bowen. I have a simple roll of beer. I only drink beer that you can buy in 30 packs. So I'll leave you with that. With Spiegel and Holmes on 670 the score. We love talking ball with Matt Bowen. Someone in the Twitch stream said, time to run through a brick wall.

Yeah. That's what happens when you get Matt Bowen on. He joins us now on the Circa Resort and casino hotline, circa Las Vegas.com. Matt, it's Lawrence and Layla today. We appreciate you joining us.

I was saying to Speeges yesterday after listening to Caleb and Ben Johnson, that it's beautiful for me to think about all of the great teaching that's happened between Sunday and tomorrow.

And the idea being Caleb puts so much good on tape that Ben gets to go, now I know you can do stuff.

And now that I know that you can do stuff, I am holding you to that standard going forward.

I agree with you 100% Lawrence.

And also what Coach Johnson can say is it's still not good enough, right?

There's plenty of plays you can find in the tape versus Dallas from point to

and said, look, you did this in the first half. You didn't execute it well enough in the third

and fourth quarter. That needs to prove. That needs to be better because we know Caleb,

look, Caleb has made growth from week one to week two, now week two to week three. Anyone

watching the game on Sunday couldn't see that. A lot more explosive plays. Remember Lawrence last thing we talked about explosive plays? The Bears had five explosive play throws on Sunday in the win over Dallas. Got to have those. Through with more rhythm. A greater sense of calm in the pocket. I love what he did from under center play action, hitting the back foot, driving the football, putting it on the wide receiver's chest at times. The deep inbreaker to Luther Burton, maybe his best throw of the season, in terms of a layered throw versus zone coverage. So a lot of good things to take, but also things you look at and say, hey, we got to adjust your footwork in this situation. When you're throwing a wide receiver screen or you're throwing a ball to the flat,

we don't need to see you drop the arm in. That's why the ball dives on you. That's why you're thrown into the ground. Down the field, this has been an issue for Caleb since he's been in Chicago, the deep corner route, I call it a seven route. He's got to aim smaller. How many times we've seen Caleb throw in the deep seven route, and he sails it over the top of the wide receiver.

Those are situations where Ben Johnson, to your point, Morris, smaller. How many times we've seen Campbell throwing the deep seven route and he sails it over the top

of the wide receiver? Those are situations where Ben Johnson, to your point, Morris, can hold them more accountable. And you can do that when you're coaching someone like this. When the player is seeing improve it, now we go back to what we talked about before. The trust and respect is there. Now you can coach him even harder. Matt, I'm glad you brought that up because also I feel like in so much of that is just the simple concept of like touch. I feel like every good ball we saw on Sunday, Tom Brady even said it when he's talking about that's a fastball, that's a fastball. We know the guy can throw 100. But what does your off speed look like out of the same arm slot like you talk about? Maybe that's where the finer points start to really come in for him. I agree. You can't just be a relief pitcher. Can't just throw heat all the time. There's a time for it, Leila, for sure there is. When you got to attack a tight window in the middle of field, when they did the trick play, that was a time for it to show off the arm's out and the arm strength. We understand that. But to your point, there are times when you have to play, I use the term pace and touch as a thrower. And that will come to play more often than you think, especially when you're trying to throw with more location in certain situations. And you saw that on Sunday, where he has some misses. So again, those are things you can learn for. But if you're a fan, if you're someone who works up at House Hall right now,

you have to be excited about the direction of your quarterback.

So we've talked to a bunch of offensive players about the 19 play drive.
