Mr. Halas hired me to coach the defense. That’s what I did.

I could hardly see across the field, and I’m sure they couldn’t, either. They’d run a play, and I didn’t know who had the ball or what was going on.

Oh, I like that middle linebacker that you got. He’s a hell of a player. He’s big, he’s fast and he’s tough. I think he’d qualify to play for me.

Coaches didn’t like it because it made them look bad. We hit a lot of quarterbacks, and that was one of the things coaches were a little tender about.
