What insights do the hosts share about DJ Moore's performance?
Rahimi Harrison-Grody, middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score. One person with the team told me that it was not an effort issue on the last play, that it was also not quite a miscommunication, but like confusion, that it was a newer route concept that they had put in and they were a little surprised by the coverage and he kind of slowed down out of confusion of exactly where he was supposed to take that route, which I think speaks a little bit to why Ben Johnson put it on him today, put it on himself today, also because Ben Johnson is a great leader and has accountability.
That was Danny Parkins who talked to us at 1 o'clock. You can check Danny out on Fox Sports 1 on First Things First. And that added, I think, a new level of understanding. If Danny's reporting, you know, that's his reporting. But if that was indeed the case, that gives it a little more understanding when it came to what happened. on the interception by Cam Curl that ended up sealing the game for the Rams in the Divisional.
How did miscommunication affect the Bears' last play?
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score. Mark Grody was at Hallis Hall yesterday, so you may have missed that nugget from Danny. I wanted to see what you thought about it and also your impressions of talking to Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson about it because the one person who could help us understand in DJ Moore didn't speak at Hallis Hall.
Yeah, I mean, that's the one part here which causes most of us to hesitate a little bit in our opinions on what happened because we haven't heard from DJ Moore, who has taken a beating over that last play. If, Layla, just to answer that question, I hadn't heard that report from Danny, so thanks for playing that. If that is true, if that is true, if the— The confusion was real. If it was a newer type of route, as Danny Parkin said, then all of a sudden, I do get why. Because I'll be honest, like when Ben Johnson yesterday said, I didn't watch the tape. I still don't believe that, by the way. Get out of here.
Yeah, that was the most incredible thing said.
Get out of town. Like, I still haven't time. Like, we kind of joked yesterday. Like, we're going to be asking at the combine and then in free agents. So, have you had a chance to watch that last play? Have you yet, coach? Nope, I've been doing all sorts of stuff. Been getting ready for the draft. Getting ready for free agency. I don't have time to look at the tape.
Eventually, he's going to have to answer the freaking question.
If I may, an old school score, say, who are you crapping Ben Johnson? However, if that is true, if it was the newer, I give a lot of credit to Ben Johnson for saying that if there was a miscommunication, that's on me. If it is also true, I'm a little bit surprised, though, that Ben Johnson didn't say, yeah, here's the concept we were going for. It's something that we haven't worked on a lot. Like maybe Ben Johnson didn't want to just throw himself under the bus completely. But if that's true, I do wish Ben would have given us a little bit more than the old blame me, blame it on me.
You kind of snuck into Iberflue's impression there, who didn't do that, who didn't always say blame me. And when he said accountability, it was more like a search engine function. That's a good point. So when I consider Ben Johnson saying that, it's also, remember how mad he was about the loss to the Lions for days and days? And you could tell in his voice that he was still mad about it? So if I had to guess... If it were actually a miscommunication on a new route concept that they decided to bring in for the playoffs, which they can do. then he's probably also still frustrated by it himself. The old, I'll have to look at the tape trick works every time. And I frankly, I guess a timeline is different when you've got to get exit interviews done for everybody because you want to be courteous to them and get them out of the building as fast as possible.
But perhaps that when you knew exactly what occurred because you were likely inundated by that video or at least under like watching the film of it.
