Windy City Gridiron
On Taylor Doll’s latest Making Monsters, she previews the Chicago Bears vs the Minnesota Vikings game as they prepare to meet again this Sunday. I stepped in to give her a hand in previewing the Bears side of the ball. We discuss the growth of the team through nine games and how they can beat the Vikings.
She is also joined by Tyler Forness of A to Z Sports and Vikings 1st and SKOL, who chats about J.J. McCarthy’s progress to start the season, his biggest strengths and where he needs to improve.
“When he’s got all of his bearings together and he gets his feet underneath him, he’s really, really good,” Forness said of McCarthy. “The problem is you get that about two to three drives a game, and the rest of them are very sporadic and wild. He’s like a kid back in high school that would drink three monsters. And when you first start hanging out with that kid, he’s pretty calm. But then by the end of that third monster, he’s just bouncing off the walls and he’s just going bonkers. That’s JJ. McCarthy right now. He gets himself too amped up and he needs to calm down.”
They also talk about what Kevin O’Connell has meant to the team this season. They discuss the Vikings’ defense, how often Brian Flores will want to blitz, and if they’ll need to make any adjustents considering the Bears’ offensive improvements since the bye.
Make sure you check out her show in either of the embeds below for an extensive preview of Sunday’s Bears vs Vikings game.
