      Interior line is 2nd most important position in Belichicks defense. You can hear the tutelage of coach through Hicks analysis. Very detailed observations

      Exactly. Not to say that high school coaches can’t help with technique and fundamentals but there are levels to this. Current and ex nfl players have devoted their entire lives to the craft and have so much knowledge that can help kids get better across the nation. There were no o line technique breakdowns when I was in high school until a few days after I graduated; joe Thomas did a technique breakdown and immediately shed light on about three or four of my recurring stance and get off issues. Please NFL put keep putting these out!

    With the signing of Mack Hicks got lost in the shuffle, but that man is still a major part in how that Bears Def works. He is an absolute beast and if you double/tripple Mack you are setting yourself up for failure b/c Hicks is a beast to stop 1x1. And Hicks is making sure the new guys on the line know how to do it also. Love this dude, loved him since the Bears signed him.

I don't know how the Bears do it but they find classy hard working players who are also incredibly talented. I don't think I've loved a post 85 Bears team this much ever.

    3:50 I luv this kinda stuff. Like Kobe details. I’ve watched Jamaal & luck. This looks promising

    When he made the comment about, "....now he is in church" and "....now he's sayin 'LORD I love you!". I liked that part.

    Hicks is a stud, I'm so glad we got him, I also love Hicks personality.

    Wow! I hope Hicks is seriously helping each and every Bears offensive lineman set and hold their stance at the line without giving away their blocking scheme! Seems like something every offensive lineman (and offensive line coaches) should take VERY VERY seriously and should be able to learn to do.

    This video is such a great resource for young D linemen. Gives them great technique to study/practice. I wish Ed Reed woulda done one when I was in high school playing high saftey.

    Respect Hicks. Would like to hear who he finds tough to play against and what they do well

    His mind is incredible. If 3 of your lineman are as smart as him they'd be unstoppable.
