Leila RahimiHOST
Yeah, I don't know if it's his wife or girlfriend, I don't know what her title is, but j- on TikTok she's cool too.
Mark GroteHOST
Josh Blackwell, another guy like that.
Leila RahimiHOST
Like, I'm very supportive of the Hicks, like, whatever Elijah Hicks is going on-
Mark GroteHOST
Yeah
32 MINS LATER
Leila RahimiHOST
Uh-
Mark GroteHOST
I mean, that's a serious thing.
Mark GroteHOST
We, do we need to talk about Elijah Hicks playing for real? Do we need Josh Blackwell to be playing on the outside like we saw him do sometimes in training camp this year?
Leila RahimiHOST
Josh Blackwell, who makes me smile because apparently poor him and Jalen Johnson get mistaken for each other all the time.
Mark GroteHOST
I mean, that's a serious thing.
Mark GroteHOST
We, do we need to talk about Elijah Hicks playing for real? Do we need Josh Blackwell to be playing on the outside like we saw him do sometimes in training camp this year?
Leila RahimiHOST
Josh Blackwell, who makes me smile because apparently poor him and Jalen Johnson get mistaken for each other all the time.
Leila RahimiHOST
[laughs]
Mark GroteHOST
They do.
Leila RahimiHOST
I clearly am a big fan of the guys on special teams, what with my affinity for Elijah Hicks and Daniel Hardy-
Mark GroteHOST
Yeah
Leila RahimiHOST
... and Josh Blackwell.
Leila RahimiHOST
I don't know what her title is, but on TikTok, she's cool too.
Mark GroteHOST
Josh Blackwell, another guy like that.
Mark GroteHOST
I'm very supportive
Leila RahimiHOST
of the Hicks, like whatever Elijah Hicks is going on.
Matt AbbatacolaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Dan BernsteinHOST
Elijah Hicks, Skyler Thomas, and you still got your special teams ace Josh Blackwell, who can play nickel in a pinch.
Matt AbbatacolaHOST
And then Nick McCloud was brought up from the practice squad, right?
Dan BernsteinHOST
Yes.
Adam HogeHOST
Yeah, those three guys would be back there catching punts, and I'm like, "All three of these guys look great." So, and that's punt return.
Adam HogeHOST
We're talking about kick return, but it just, they have Josh Blackwell back there with them.
Adam HogeHOST
Like, there's gotta be some other way to unlock this.
Adam HogeHOST
The penalties are a problem.
Jon MeerdinkHOST
Certainly not bad.
Jon MeerdinkHOST
Their kick returners are Zavion Thomas and Josh Blackwell.
Jon MeerdinkHOST
They have returned 8 and 4 kicks apiece.
Jon MeerdinkHOST
respectively averaging, again, 21.3 yards per return.
Usayd KoshulHOST
Plus, I think that honestly...
Usayd KoshulHOST
Guys like Josh Blackwell as well as Cam Lewis, along with Xavier Woods and Dylan Thienman, when they've been asked to step up and make plays, they've done just fine.
Usayd KoshulHOST
So I'm not really concerned about any of those guys who could potentially slide in and play nickel having to take over for Kyler Gordon and the Bears needing to rush him back onto the field.
Jackson GrossHOST
Yeah, although I will say that I think overall, I think they could use that strategy with a guy like Noah Sewell.
Tom ThayerHOST
... and it stays, it stays around you.
Jeff JoniakHOST
I was just chatting with Josh Blackwell in the, uh, in the locker room.
Jeff JoniakHOST
You know, the older guys who've been here a bit, they, they like hearing the old stories.
Jeff JoniakHOST
The new guys, they, they have to just, uh, they have to learn it on their own, you know? They have to experience it on their own.
Herb HowardCORRESPONDENT
He's like, for real? I was like, no, seriously, go ask him.
Herb HowardCORRESPONDENT
And so I went down there to talk to Josh Blackwell about – His punt return touchdown, I know Bears fans will remember the great creative special teams play where they brought DJ Moore on the field.
Herb HowardCORRESPONDENT
The entire Packers kick coverage unit thought DJ Moore was returning down the left sideline.
Herb HowardCORRESPONDENT
Josh Blackwell pretty much coasted down the right sideline, but he said he wasn't coasting at all.
speaker_34UNKNOWN
Josh Blackwell, take me back through
Herb HowardCORRESPONDENT
your punt return touchdown at Lambeau against the Packers.
Josh BlackwellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, play that hit we had been working on for a couple of years before we actually ran it.
Herb HowardCORRESPONDENT
Not always treating them like it's an interview.
