Rahimi & Grote Show · Anthony Herron shares observations from Bears' ugly loss to Vikings (Hour 2) · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

So at the safety position, through two games of your NFL career, if that's the bare minimum, if this is the floor for Thienemann and he'll continue to get better from here, then that's encouraging. voice-verified

I was impressed, not surprised, because that's who Brian Flores is. voice-verified

And through the two games we saw last season with the Vikings facing the Bears, the first game didn't have a lot of blitz to it. voice-verified

The second game certainly did have a lot more aggression with the way that they attacked. voice-verified

And they can do either. voice-verified

And, you know, it puts you in this mental bind as an offense. voice-verified

That's where the play caller who's opposing a Brian Flores defense, you really have to find a way. voice-verified

And the players themselves have to find a way to just be confident in what they're seeing and then to execute it with detail and efficiency, to trust their technique, to trust their eyes, to trust the game plan. voice-verified

But there's so many hybrid bodies. voice-verified

that the Vikings have, where a safety can be a defensive end, where a defensive end can be an off-ball linebacker, where an off-ball linebacker can line up like a three technique. voice-verified

They can move these pieces around so much that when you hear the term seeing ghosts, voice-verified

That's the type of defense that you hear quarterbacks and offensive players describing when that's the case because an opposite colored jersey can mean anything. voice-verified

I've talked to you guys the entire time Ben Johnson has been here as the Bears head coach and offensive play caller about the way he tests defense. voice-verified

the eye discipline of the opposing defense. voice-verified

That's a big part of what gives his playmakers an opportunity to out-leverage them, whether it's in the route tree or in the run game. voice-verified

Brian Flores does very similar things with the way he aligns on defense and the athletes that he puts in those positions because one guy can be capable of, like, voice-verified

four different jobs within their front seven. voice-verified

And it can be so difficult to discern who your assignment legitimately is. voice-verified

And that same hesitation that when offensively you make that defender hesitate and it can be a chunk play for you, that's where any hesitation on offense, when you're uncertain, when you come out of your stance, if you're oozing because you're trying to think which guy is really my guy, they come flying by you into the backfield and then you get the QB running all over the place trying to see if he can make chicken salad out of something else. voice-verified

I don't see that happening voice-verified
