Chicago Bears DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ASSISTANT HEAD COACH ROD MARINELLI - Ingles

Thursday, January 20, 2011

On if coaches stress approaching this week like every other week

“Yes, you believe in routine and sticking to a routine – consistency, practice is the same and the focus is always on us. I think it is a little easier to stay with a consistent format that way.”

On if there was anything done or said since halftime of the Jets game that has improved the pass coverage

“No. One thing we always have is we’ll come back and tighten our fundamentals up. You have home base and when something happens and you get off track maybe a little bit, you just kind of come back in and you come back to your basic concepts, your defense, your fundamentals and that brings a guy back home. So now you have a chance to see things clearly, with clarity and you get back on rhythm.”

On if he has an explanation for the improved play of Tommie Harris

“Oh yeah, good hard work. Consistent, you keep coming, you come to work every day. He’s just getting better. A big thing in this league, if guys will show up and go to work every day, you have a chance to get a little bit better. He’s getting healthier and it’s the right time for him and it’s the right time for us with him.”
