We have an old friend and a legend. This
guy changed the way defensive football is played. He
is a Walter Payton man of the year. He
has done it all and he joins us from the
Regal United Kingdom. Good morning Charles Tillman. How
are you? And do the British people eat peanuts
? They don't eat peanuts, they eat biscuits.
O loves, loves. How's everybody doing? We're
doing great. We love to see the accent,
the smile live, the king. Um The Bears
are not the king right now, Charles, but
they're three and two. They have a long home
win streak. Of course. Now they're in London
playing the pseudo home team. Jaguars. Let's just
take a step back. What do you think of
the 2024 Bears right now? I love the 2024
Bears. Um I'm really loving this defense. You
know, the defense has been playing good all season
long. Uh The thing that I'm, I'm looking
and I'm liking about the offense is consistency. That's
the one word I can use about the offense is
consistency. Last week. They played a not so
good Carolina Panthers team, but they show consistency throughout
the entire game and I'm looking to that same consistency
that we beat up on the Jags. Yeah,
PNA OJ, you kind of mentioned the Bears defense
, this Bears D ranks third with 11 takeaways,
you know, a thing or two about forcing turnovers
. The 2006 Bears led the league with 44.
How important to this defense um to the Bears is
how, how important is this defense to the Bears
success this season? It's, it's the most important
thing. So here's what, what, what's funny
about the league? Everyone puts all the importance on
the offense. But when, when the game's on
the line, what is the crowd always chant?
Let's go. Or they say defense, right?
No one, no one, no one ever says
let's go. Offense. It's always defense. We
have our own chant in every, we have our
own chant in every stadium in all 32 teams.
Every team does this, right? Am I making
that up? We all say that right? There's
a, there's a stat out there and this since
the, the beginning of time, if you're plus
one, there's a 70% chance, you win the
game plus 2 80% plus 3 90% chance you,
you will win that game. Defense is all about
takeaways. Notice we don't say a turnover offense,
they turn the ball over defense, we take the
ball away. That's what we do and that's what
this bears. That's what this bears defense does they
take the ball away? That's old school Bear now
, old school football tradition. That's what we do
. Take the ball, retain the ball and win
the ball game consistently. London is a good time
when the NFL heads over there. It feels like
now it's, we occupy the city for weeks on
end Jaguars. They, uh, they come to
town, they think that they, because they've been
their longest, this is their city. What not
have the Bears fans taken over London yet. And
if not, how do you feel like it would
be best to ingratiate yourself there if you are from
Chicago and London. So I will say Bears fans
have taken over and like, like you said earlier
, it's a pseudo uh home team for the,
for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now I say this,
I, I think they would normally take over,
but, you know, they've, uh Florida has
had a little bit of hurricane problems in the last
24 hours. So I don't think we'll see a
large uh fan base of Jaguars fans out here this
time just because of hurricane Milton. Now, with
that being said, Bears fans, we travel well
, we travel well, no matter where we go
, it could be England, it could be Spain
, it could be Germany. We're gonna be there
, Bears fans, they travel well, and I
think I have a kickoff party with some Bears fans
at one of the pubs here on Friday. I
guarantee you, it'll be uh bears central in,
in the UK guarantee, no doubt, no doubt
. All right. That's cool. You, you
know, your old coach, uh Ronald V.
He's part of our can I just, can I
just stop you real quick? I'm, I'm feeling
it. I'm feeling the shirt, man shirt.
I appreciate that. I wore that because Manti is
here today. And so I just thought, you
know, me, you know, like the,
I like the vibes, the pastel, you know
, very Easter and I like his you two complement
each other fairly well. Yeah, thank you.
And, and it brings up the red undertone.
What you got, you got, you gotta,
we gotta switch that up. We gotta get some
color in some color in there. Is Don Johnson
over here. Hey, you know, hey Peanut
look, I'm, I'm sure you're there to support
your bears but tell the viewers what else you're doing
uh with USA A uh and the salute to service
boot camp. Well, we had a salute to
service boot camp. I'm here on behalf of us
AAA. Um No, it was a good time
. We were out here at this uh airport base
and we had a makeshift combine. Um I don't
know, there might have been a couple of scouts
, there might have been a couple of pulled hamstrings
by some of the soldiers when they, yeah,
old boys for real, you know, they,
uh they ran, they ran a 40 they did
the L drill, they did the shuttle. It
was actually a whole lot of fun. Um,
what most people don't know is I grew up in
a military base my entire life. Uh, 18
year, my dad served 8, uh, 20
years. My dad got out when I was 18
. So I've been on bases. I've lived overseas
, I've lived in Germany Mannheim, uh, SMBG
Ramstein, all these, uh, places that I
lived before. And I know what it's like to
be overseas, away from family. And USA the
USA A does a great job of supporting uh former
uh uh service members, retired service members and they
just do a great job of supporting them and I'm
here on behalf of them and they do some good
stuff. That's great, man. It's incredible that
you do that and you're known for so much of
that off the field and charitable work. And you
are a Walter Payton man of the year. And
at the same time, dude, you are known
most for punching and we know that and we love
that. In fact, Charles, we're gonna show
you some of the best peanut punches that have happened
so far this year. And I want you to
give them a letter grade from F to A plus
. Perfection. Couldn't do it better. Here we
go. Week one, week one, roll it
. I believe this is Nick Bosa on the 49er
. Give us the video. No, it's Joey
Bosa. What do you think about this? Oh
, that's a plus. He's coming from across the
board. That's a plus right there. Uh,
and the, and the, and the running back
had no clue he was coming. That's what makes
that a plus right there. Ball awareness. I
love it. Bolsa love it. Give me more
, give me more facts to follow a plus.
Let's go to week five, Thursday night football,
great player, Jesse Bates lands a punch and let's
see how you think of this+10, left hand
. This is, this is a plus plus plus
because this is with the left and I guarantee you
bases are right-handed. So when you can knock somebody
out with the left, that's an eight plus plus
plus, that's three plus right there. And that
was the one that sued the game right there.
He had a hell of a hair. It was
a plus. Our final play also from week one
. The Great Fred Warner. Look at this one
. Take it away. Peanut. How many pluses
? That is pure perfection. Look at that fist
. He lined up, he saw it coming from
a mile away. He loaded up hand, eye
co ordination. That right there. You saved the
best for last Fred. One of the best to
do it. One of the best in the business
. I remember this play because I was watching this
game. I didn't get a shout out, I
don't think. But that was solid. That's a
plus plus plus plus. That's a PC. Now
, I got a question. Unbelievable to get the
four pluses. I love it. We didn't show
it because he's injured. But did you see Rasheed
Rice, an offensive player doing the punch and got
the ball loose there after Mahomes and of course,
hits his knee. But what do you think of
an offensive player doing a peanut punch? A couple
of weeks ago? I did an interview so I
did an interview earlier. Someone asked me how cool
is that? People are doing the peanut punch and
I said, you know, yeah, it's cool
. It's humbling. I left a mark. The
most impressive thing that I'm seeing now is offensive players
are doing the peanut punch when they create a turnover
and they throw an interception or there's a four struggle
. I have seen running backs, I've seen receivers
do the peanut punch. Sometimes they get it.
Sometimes they don't, they don't have enough practice or
they don't practice it enough, but I've seen them
do it. That's pretty damn cool. I'm not
gonna lie. That's pretty. So y'all know how
y'all got angry runs and you get up there and
you talk about the angry runs and one of my
favorite sessions that you do, we gotta get a
Peanut punch award trophy or something. You're welcome to
do it. We, we gotta get a peanut
or we gotta do a peanut something I'm not gonna
do you, if you do it, I will
, I will do it. That's something going on
a video game, offensive players are doing it.
That's fine. We'll have a kicker do it.
We're all over it. Peanut. So much to
say so many things that contribute usa, a,
an incredible source and a credible uh thing that you
do with them. Go Bears in London go Jags
. Peanut. Tell my guys incredible, incredible game
like the, like the, thank you.
