Bears tight end Cole Kmet looks to the running game as a key to what he calls a "course correction" coming for the team after an 0-3 start.

00:02 - Yeah, absolutely.
00:19 You can tell by, maybe how the ends are reading a little bit
00:23 they're not crashing as hard as maybe they were last year
00:26 when we first started doing our backgrounds with Justin.
00:29 So, but we gotta, you know, I think we're gonna be creative
00:32 in terms of manufacturing.
00:34 So sometimes we're, you know,
00:35 Justin's able to take off and run and then also, you know,
00:39 just being able to hand off power right up the gut.
00:41 So we gotta be able to do both those things, but yeah,
00:44 you can definitely tell that teams
00:45 are taking that into effect.
00:46 Yeah, I think that's big.
00:47 I mean, look, we were the number one rushing team last year
00:50 and there's no reason that, you know,
00:52 can't still be a big part of our personal game.
00:54 So I think it always starts with the run
00:57 and makes everything else a lot easier.
00:59 So I think establishing our physicality up front is big
01:04 and can help us get off to a fast start this game.
01:06 - I think huge.
01:07 I think these next two games, you know,
01:10 you can finish out strong.
01:11 You can have, what is it, eight or nine games,
01:13 not a lot of two games, whatever it is.
01:15 So I look at it as a good opportunity, you know,
01:18 to quickly course correct, I guess I could say,
01:20 and you go into that mini bye-wing
01:22 and feel a little bit better about things.
01:23 And then you kick it off on kind of that second quarter
01:26 that seems like a divisional opponent against them.
01:29 I mean, no NFL defense usually does
01:32 when you watch them over a four game span,
01:33 but you know, that's the game they played, right?
01:36 So you definitely take some things from the tape
01:38 that the Dolphins did.
01:39 They did a lot of cool stuff in that game.
01:41 And obviously they got some really good players
01:44 in the offense, you know,
01:46 a really good, I think a really good play caller over there.
01:49 So they did a lot of creative things
01:50 and, you know, some things that you can take from it.
