I love this conversation. I hope you're having fun. You know what, when you're coaching aggressiveness with your offense, you got a guy like Favre and you got Sterling Sharp out there running routes. There's an understanding and trust. Hey, I'm the receiver coach. If you throw the ball, if he throws a ball to us and it's tight, he's giving you a chance. Right.

So there's only three things that are going to happen, Big Cat. You're going to be a savage, and you're going to go catch the damn ball. That's why we're paying you, too. Secondly, you're going to make damn sure he doesn't get it. You're going to play defensive back and make sure it's incomplete. Or third, you're going to be like an Academy Award winner.

You're going to get me that pass interference penalty. Yeah. But I think you've got to have a real careful understanding. And I think that's what the Bears' problem is a little bit. Do you not trust Keenan Allen? Throw him the ball when it's tight. He's going to catch it. He's going to make sure it's not intercepted. And he's going to get a couple fouls.

Yeah, that's Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson going to that Steelers offense. You've seen it with George Pickens. He's going to give his guys a chance. And like, yeah, there might be some interceptions, but now his guys are more locked in and they know they can go get those jump balls, those moon balls, and their offenses look totally different.

And when you watch Kansas City early in the season, they threw a bomb to Worthy, their fast receiver from Texas. And I know you remember the play. Cam Taylor Britt of the Bengals makes a one-handed interception, and everybody's like, oh, what a great interception. You know what they were saying in Kansas City? They were pissed at Worthy because what didn't he do? Go attack the ball.

You don't let anybody intercept it. And I think that's one of the reasons Kansas City's a little bit reluctant to to give him a ton of 50-50 opportunities. They used to do that with Deshaun Jackson. Yeah. But D-Jack, he would go up there and he would tip it away from somebody.

And I just think these are little behind-the-scenes things that young quarterbacks, they got to have confidence in their receivers.
