Brian Daboll sits down in his office with Giants.com for a weekly conversation about the latest at 1925 Giants Drive. We catch up with the head coach as he prepares for a road game against the Bears, who have won five of their past six games, including last week’s thriller at Cincinnati. Meanwhile, there is potential for a weather game this Sunday in Chicago.

Q: In addition to the finish of the game, Caleb Williams became the first starting quarterback to catch two passes in a game since 1953. DJ Moore, a receiver, threw a touchdown and ran for a touchdown. What was it like to digest the film of the Bears this week?

Daboll: “It was a wild game. It was kind of back and forth, and then Chicago got up by two scores and had the turnover down in the red zone with a little over two and a half minutes to go. All the stuff leading up to it, it was back and forth and they got up and there was trickeration like there always is with Coach [Ben] Johnson. There was a defensive offsides on a field goal that gave them a fourth-and-one early that they, instead of missing a field goal, they go ahead and get the ball back and go down and score. There were blocked field goals. There was a kickoff return for a touchdown right off the bat. Then there was two minutes there where it was pretty wild. Definitely an interesting tape to watch.”

Q: Overall, what do you have to prepare for with a Ben Johnson offense?

Daboll: “The roots of it are running the football. Good action game off of it, and you don’t know what trick play is coming or jet sweep, reverse, double pass, throwback screen to the quarterback, red zone stuff. So, you have to rely on your rules because you’re not going to practice the exact gadget-type play that you’re going to see.”

Q: What have you seen from Caleb Williams in Year 2?

Daboll: “I think he’s doing a good job. I think he is a very talented thrower of the football. He can create with his legs, and he can create with his arm. He has a good knack for escaping things, and he’s doing a really good job of throwing on time. With his footwork, using the action game, he’s taking a lot less sacks. I think their offensive line is doing a good job, but I think he’s doing a good job along with it. And he’s got some skill players around him that make plays with the ball in their hands, that can create. They’ll throw a short pass and create, whether it’s [running back D’Andre] Swift or [wide receivers Rome] Odunze, Moore. They use [Luther] Burden at times. I know he’s hurt, but they use him and his athletic ability and [Olamide] Zaccheaus on third down and the two tight ends. He’s got a good supporting cast.”

Q: And what about the rookie Kyle Monangai, who had a big game…

Q: You had him at the local pro day.

Daboll “I think he’s a tough runner, has good contact balance. He was very productive in the start that he had last week. He finds a way to make yards. I just like his toughness, and his contact balance is good.”

Q: Swift keeps changing teams, but you keep seeing him. This would be his third game in a different uniform against you in four seasons.

Daboll: “He has made a lot of big plays for them. He can run both inside and outside. I think he does a really good of creating and making plays, whether it’s in the screen game or the toss-crack game, the toss game, the outside zone game. He has created a lot of big plays for them.”

Q: When you were asked about the Bears’ run game in your Wednesday press conference, you used the words perimeter, outside and edge a total of five times. Is that the emphasis?

Daboll: “I’d say they have a very good run game where they can run it inside, they can run it outside. But we have to do a good job of – if we’re going to get these outside plays that we’ve gotten here the last couple weeks, it’s something we’ve stressed, we’ve worked on, and we’re going to have to do a good job defending.”

Q: On the other side, the Bears lead the NFL in takeaways and turnover differential. Is that guys just flying to the ball or scheme?

Daboll: “They have 19 turnovers for a variety of reasons. They have some really good plays – undercut routes on interceptions or chase a running back down 20 yards down the field and strip it right next to the sideline. They have good zone defenders. [Linebacker] Tremaine Edmunds was in Buffalo [with me]. He’s long, does a good job reading the quarterback. They’ve had some tipped balls. They’ve been opportunistic on the football. They lead the league in turnover margin, and usually when you’re at the top or near the top of that category, that’s going to result in outcomes that you want.”
