Bears HC Matt Eberflus Talks Rome Odunze’s Knee Injury Latest & More | The Rich Eisen Show

how is radun what can you tell me about his his knee right now coach yeah so he had MRI you know he has uh MCL Sprain and it's a day-to-day uh deal so we'll see where he is tomorrow um on Wednesday and that's what's going on there and then again we'll reassess it as we go like can stay to day and again I know he's he's super tough guy and he has his range of motion and has you know all those types of things that go along with that but again that that is has some pain to it but uh we'll see where it goes no and I understand you know uh coaches talking about injuries is is the last thing you want to talk about but it's possible we do see him on Sunday night is what you're saying okay assess it as we go yeah as we're discussing Matt EO the head coach of the Chicago Bears how' you like calling the defensive plays man how' you like that I've always enjoyed that I I enjoy the preparation of that I enjoy the ingame adjustments that you have to make um I've always enjoyed that the last 48 hour preparation uh that you do uh the sequencing of plays how you want to call things and that adjusting during the game so that's enjoyable for me and uh we'll continue to do it but how do you then uh still remain focused on what's going on with the offense even though you know coach Waldren is handling that but how do you as the HC uh handle this full plate now how do you do that I think it's really good I have I have an excellent defensive staff Eric Washington is our is our defensive coordinator and the rest of those guys have been we been with me for years so they understand how we operate and the adjustments that we need to make so it's it's pretty easy and you know terms of that you know the end-game adjustments halftime adjustments that you're making and then I'm just over with the offense the entire time managing the game managing the timeouts managing the challenges um you know the margins in terms of when we're going for fourth Downs in the quad Zone and relaying those to Shane you know on first or second down so he's getting prepared for those types of go for situations so yeah it's been relatively easy I've been doing that for three years now so it's pretty good and you making sure everybody's lined up on sides offensively because my goodness and we're seeing these uh the emphasis of flags in the first week of the Season talking about who's covering up who and who's lined up properly at the guard position what do you think about that emphasis change and how it played out in week number one coach yeah I talked to the you know the they sent NFL sent a tape to us and we showed it to the players you know in terms of the offensive tackles you know breaking the the waist you know of the of the center and Andy our guys do a really good job with that and you know the Motions with the receivers making sure they're not shaving towards the line of scrimmage and you know we made a point emphasis on Friday and we did a solid job of that uh during the course of the game but again those things are the rules are in place for a reason I think the NFL officials do an excellent job enforcing those rules and communicating them to us again there's always going to be some point of emphasis you know you know obviously the hip drop hip drop tackle was one of them last you know spring and we haven't seen a bunch of that so far and that's out of the game and and I really agree with that rule because you know it is a dangerous tackle but uh there's always going to be a point of emphasis from the NFL well and the dynamic kickoff you know um it it seems like uh a third of the kicks got returned and the average line of scrimmage for offensive uh setups was just shy of the 30 yard line and you you know you're again a defensive minded coach obviously you're a head coach but it seems like a lot of your colleagues and maybe yourself are like I'll just defend 70 yards um is that your approach to the dynamic kickoff coach I think it's really depends on who's returning the kick um you certainly would have a hard time kicking to Devon Hester definely right but for sure but you know would you we had some good covers last week you know we got them inside the 25 a couple times and and had some really good tackles which we can create some takeaways during that time you know so we we actually like you know kick and cover but again I think it depends on who we're playing against and we'll be able to adjust that every single week catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free
