Rahimi Harrison-Grody, middays 10 a.m. to 2 on 670 The Score.
Oh, I love this song. This is one of the songs that the Bears run out to. This is Rahimi Harrison-Groney on 670 The Score. Tyler Buterbaugh just getting the job done on the ones and twos today. He's a beaut, man. If you need to go back and listen to his open-hour show, strongly recommend. It is also a four-seasons heating, air conditioning, and plumbing and electric football Friday presented by Pottawatomie Casino Hotel and chicagoroofingcontractors.org. We do this segment that nobody else has ever done before. I think it might catch on. It's called Keys to the Game. Wow. We're kidding. Everybody does it.
I would like to see it and maybe, this might be crazy, spread to other sports too.
You think that we could talk about other games and having a key to them?
We just walked by our performance studio, guys, and there was Pat and Ron and Zach doing a little Q&A session in the studio. And they could be talking about keys to the offseason right now if they knew the gold that we have in this segment.
If only they knew about keys to the game. If only. I know. And not to be confused with inside the locker room at 125, by the way. So you heard me say this earlier. I said this on Five on It. I asked about it with Kevin Fishbane. The Bears, and I'm just going to keep saying this until I'm blue in the face, and I won't change and nothing ever changes, so I might be running in a circle here. But I still think that to establish a run game would be crucial in this. It would keep the Rams from being on the field as long. It would give the Bears a little bit of... extension of drives early if they can establish it. I think it would calm down that pass rush that Kevin Fishbane alluded to. As we know, Jared Vers is excellent at his job.
He's not the only one who knows how to sack a quarterback on that Rams team. So when I consider the best way to quell an active pass rush and keep an effective offense off the field, run the football is what I'm going to go to. Byron Young is the other pass rusher who I'm worried about on the Rams. I feel like that combination is going to be pretty effective if the Bears decide to become one-dimensional and pass too much in this game. That's what I'm hoping doesn't happen. So that is my key to the game.
Is there a number you put on that when you say run the football well?
What are the keys to a Bears victory over the Rams?
Is there a number you envision, whether it's 150 or 200 or...
No, I don't have a yardage in mind. I just think when it comes to not only developing rhythm, but establishing some type of possession, keeping the other team off the field, that's what I would like to see happen.
I think y'all are going to hate mine because, well, it just hasn't happened like this. Get the freaking lead. Get the freaking lead.
That's a key, Layla.
By any means necessary, just get the lead. Do not tempt fate and feel like you can just come from behind when you're down double-digit points.
I got this. Get the lead. Watch me go.
This needs to look much more like the Eagles game than any other game. And the biggest thing with the Eagles game is not necessarily just their propensity of running the football and putting up the nearly 300 yards rushing. No, no, no, no, no. But get the lead. And then maybe you can do some of those things. But if you're playing from behind the whole game, it's going to be really hard to do the things that you just talked about, Layla.
And it's so simple, but let's call it what it is. The Bears didn't have the lead at any point in time until the very end against the Packers.
Two really good keys. Here's another one that I will give, and that is continue to stop the run. Because the Bears did a pretty good job of stopping the run against the Green Bay Packers last week. The Packers had 99 total rushing yards. Now... Why it's so important is because the Rams offense in this running game, they're seventh in the league in their rushing attack, and it's not just Kyron Williams. It is Kyron Williams, who has 1,252 yards, a 4.8 yards per carry average.
