that might have been picked up by the microphone he wore in a win over the New York Jets last week."Is it good or bad?" asked Nagy Kyle Long Jerseys 2019 , who had forgotten he was miked up in the first place for a 4 1/2-minute segment posted on the team's website this week."Good? I hope so," he said. "I know there could be some bad stuff on there."Nagy generated rave reviews, with the series of clips shedding further light on how the first-year coach has spurred second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky's development as the Bears travel to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday."I'm going to challenge you right now these two quarters for greatness," Nagy told Trubisky on the sideline at halftime. "You take this thing over right now."Trubisky responded by overseeing three consecutive scoring drives in which the Bears turned a 7-3 lead into a 24-10 win.He called the pep-talk inspiring."When he says that, I think it just makes us more goal-oriented," Trubisky said. "I think it really just honed me in, made me focus more."Trubisky has been on a roll.His 1,814 yards passing in seven games are 379 yards shy of his total in 12 games last year. He has been especially sharp the past four games with 1,233 yards passing and 13 touchdowns — the most over that span for Chicago since Sid Luckman in 1947.Coupled with an opportunistic defense, which ranks second in the NFL with 17 takeaways, the Bears (4-3) are off to their best start in five years.The Bills (2-6), by comparison, are off to their worst start since 2010, and coach Sean McDermott has had difficulty coaxing much out of a patchwork offense.They haven't scored a touchdown in two games, and managed just 87 points all season.And now Buffalo faces the prospect of starting turnover-prone Nathan Peterman on Sunday, with rookie Josh Allen (sprained throwing elbow) ruled out for a third consecutive week, and Derek Anderson dealing with concussion-related issues.This would mark Peterman's second turn at starting this season White Pat O’Donnell Jerseys , and after he went 5 of 18 for 24 yards and two interceptions through two-plus quarters of a 47-3 season-opening loss at Baltimore."I'm thankful for all the opportunities I've been through, all the lessons I've learned, and ready to be better from them," said Peterman, who has 10 interceptions in 84 career passing attempts, including a brief playoff appearance. "I'm going to go out there and do my best to get us a win."PRYOR COMMITMENTReceiver Terrelle Pryor is in position to make his Bills debut five days since signing with Buffalo, and 10 days after being released by the New York Jets.After saying he felt "underused" during his six-game stint in New York, ending with a groin injury, Pryor is confident he make an immediate impact in Buffalo."I expect high things from myself, and I expect high things from the offense," he said. "Just because we lost some games doesn't mean we can't win or can't put things together. I believe."LINING UPThe Bears have a big hole to fill at right guard after Kyle Long hurt his foot last weekend. Eric Kush or rookie James Daniels, who have split time at left guard, are candidates to fill the job. Another option is Bryan Witzmann, who signed three weeks ago. Witzmann started 13 games last season in Kansas City, where Nagy was the Chiefs' offensive coordinator.UNCERTAIN HOMECOMINGKhalil Mack's return to Buffalo is up in the air with the Bears star pass rusher's status uncertain due to an injured right ankle. Mack emerged as a star during a four-year career at the University at Buffalo, which was the only Division I school to offer him a scholarship. He went on to be selected fifth overall in the 2014 draft by the Raiders, before Oakland dealt Mack to Chicago before the start of this season.WILDCAT MEMORIESNagy wasn't surprised to see Bills running back LeSean McCoy taking a few snaps in the wildcat formation during a 25-6 loss to the Patriots on Monday."He's done that going back to Bishop McDevitt in Pennsylvania in high school Pat O’Donnell Jerseys 2019 ," Nagy said. "I got to see him do it."Nagy was an Eagles assistant coach when Philadelphia drafted McCoy in 2009.STALLED MCCOYMcCoy declined to speak to reporters after Buffalo's first two practices this week since expressing his frustrations after managing just 13 yards rushing against New England. Though he had a season-best 82 yards receiving, McCoy managed 1 yard on his final 11 carries.He has not scored in nine consecutive games dating to last season, since scoring a TD rushing and receiving in a 24-17 win over Miami on Dec. 17.AP Sports Writer Andrew Seligman in Lake Forest, Illinois, contributed to this report. LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Linebacker Roquan Smith, safety Eddie Jackson and other Chicago Bears defensive players felt ready to begin hitting last week when organized team activities ended.A weekend around the likes of Dick Butkus, Doug Plank, Richard Dent and other Bears greats at the franchise’s 100th anniversary celebration hardly doused those flames.They’ll have to wait six weeks, but the Bears started wrapping up offseason work on Tuesday with mandatory minicamp by saying they’re already prepared to begin making up for the way last season ended.“That first-round game, that’s just fuel to our fire,” Jackson said after the first of three minicamp practices. “We came up short. We’re just ready to get back at it.“You could tell everyone was here 100 percent for OTAs. So that just shows you that everyone is on board and we’re just ready to chase greatness.”Everyone, perhaps, except the kicking candidates.Elliott Fry, Chris Blewitt and Eddy Pineiro each missed in succession from 42 yards during Tuesday’s practice, a yard shorter than Cody Parkey missed from to end the Bears’ playoff loss to the Eagles.“For today, we can’t have that White Sam Acho Jerseys ,” coach Matt Nagy said. “We are going to figure this thing out. But 0-for-3 today, no good.”A positive going forward is their team’s overall health. Almost every Bears player is back for the minicamp, which ends Thursday.Injured receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder), tight end Trey Burton (hernia surgery) and rookie Emanuel Hall (hernia surgery) are out, but are all expected back for training camp.Jackson returned after he missed time last week when someone stepped on his heel, and tackle Bobby Massie returned earlier after missing time in OTAs with a neck injury.The defense continues to try to get down different terminology under new defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano.“I will say we’re certainly at that point right now where our guys are ready,” Nagy said. “They’re ready to put the pads on.“They’re sick and tired of me saying, ‘don’t you get close to that quarterback, don’t tip the ball, don’t grab jerseys, don’t do that.”Tuesday’s practice came with more Bears alumni around. A group of 20 watched current players who were a bit in awe of them last weekend.Defensive players expressed everything from gratification to shock to inspiration after visiting with past Bears greats.“You want to kind of mimic that,” cornerback Kyle Fuller said.Smith spent time taking tips from Butkus and linebacker Otis Wilson.“Pretty much Butkus was like, ‘Just be violent. By all means be violent.’ That was his main thing,” Smith said. “And pretty much Otis, from the ’85 team, it was more saying the same thing: ‘get the quarterback, knock him out Sam Acho Jerseys 2019 ,’ stuff like that. It was very similar.”Jackson was on a panel with safeties Plank, Gary Fencik and Mike Brown, and couldn’t believe it when he heard Plank once tackled a woman who at a public appearance wanted to challenge him.“The story about him tackling the woman — that was like one of the craziest things I ever heard,” Jackson said. “We thought he, like, either gave a love tap, but we heard he really tackled her. I couldn’t believe it. And everybody vouched for the story.”Pass rusher Khalil Mack appreciated listening to franchise sacks leader Richard Dent offer advice on how to use his hands differently against blockers.“It definitely gives you a confidence boost,” Mack said. “But just being a player and being a leader on the team, you understand that we could talk all day. It’s ultimately about going out and showing our actions and balling as one unit, as one team and as one family.”The lesson Nagy said they all took from the convention and former players was unity.“It was a brotherhood, it was a family, it was a bond,” Nagy said. “It’s not about being better than any other team that was here, it’s about just carrying on that tradition.”
