Bears Blitz - Roy-Robertson Harris, Eddie Jackson, Akiem Hicks, Prince Amukamara, Cody Whitehair, Sam Acho, Roquan Smith, Bilal Nichols






Roy Robertson-Harris - Defensive End

D: What's your favorite NFL memory so far?

Roy Robertson-Harris: Beating the Packers!

D's Follow Up: That was my old favorite football team. I was happy the Bears beat them because the Bears usually lose to them. 




 #39 Eddie Jackson - Safety

D: What are your favorite fruits and veggies?

Eddie Jackson: Pineapples and carrots.

D's Follow Up: I used to like pineapples, then I stopped liking them, now I like them again. I always pick carrots when they are a choice for lunch for me at school.

J: What’s the best part of being in the NFL?


Eddie Jackson: The games. I love playing against the the top players in the league.


J's Follow Up: I think that's a challenge for him to go up against the top players and it makes Eddie get better.


#96 Akiem Hicks - Interior Lineman


D: What's your favorite NFL memory so far?

Akiem Hicks: Sacking Aaron Rodgers.

D's Follow Up: Aaron Rodgers is good and it's good to get a sack on him.



#20 Prince Amukamara - Cornerback

D: Who’s the toughest wideout you’ve ever gone up against?

Prince Amukamara: Davante Adams 

D's Follow Up: Davante Adams is a hard receiver to go against. He's as good as Antonio Brown.

J: What’s the pregame meal of choice?


Prince Amukamara: Salmon or chicken.


J's Follow Up: I like chicken but I don't like fish. My dad says fish is good for me but I see why he eats it.



#65 Cody Whitehair - Center

J: Who was your favorite football player growing up?

Cody Whitehair: That's a good question. I watched a lot of the Cowboys. I'm from Kansas.

J's Follow Up: I'm sure he liked the Cowboys because they were good. They have 5 Super Bowls.

D: What's your favorite healthy food?

Cody Whitehair: My favorite healthy food? I like salmon. What do you like?

D's Follow Up: I've never tried salmon but my dad has made me fish before. I don't think I will like salmon but I don't know. 


#93 Sam Acho - Outside Linebacker

J: What's your favorite football memory?

Sam Acho: In seventh grade, I scored a touchdown on defense. I intercepted a pass and ran it back 52 yards for the touchdown.

J's Follow Up: Nice job Sam! It was probably fun to score when he was playing defense.


#58 Roquan Smith - Linebacker

D: Who was your favorite NFL player growing up?

Roquan Smith: Patrick Willis.

D's Follow Up: Patrick Willis was awesome. I have two action figures of him. 


#98 Bilal Nichols - Defensive End

J: Who were the best players that came out of Delaware, where you went to college?

Bilal Nichols: Joe Flacco. Coach Nagy. Nick Boyle is a good tight end who has been in the league a while too.

J's Follow Up: Joe Flacco was the best so far but hopefully Bilal becomes the best one ever from Delaware. 


It's been an incredible 2018 for our playoff bound Chicago Bears and we've been on so many fun adventures to see our football heroes in person. The #vincentsgo3on3 boys have been asking their questions to learn more about each player along the way and are we are excited to share this Bears Blitz with Bears fans. 

On Monday nights, you could find us at WhirlyBall in Vernon Hills for live tapings of the Chicago Huddle. It's a family tradition going on 6 years plus and this season we met Roy Robertson- Harris, Akiem Hicks, Cody Whitehair, Sam Acho, and Bilal Nichols, who were each guest hosts of the show. I flew solo to the Deerfield Jewel to meet shutdown corner Prince Amukamara on December 17th and we met Roquan Smith at Bergie's Sportscard Dugout in Highland Park on December 11th. 

This season has been an exciting ride for us as fans and we look forward to watching the Bears in the playoffs for the first time since 2010...or J and D's first time being old enough to understand. We are thankful for all of the memories this season has brought us and we hope that the Monsters roll all the way into February for a showdown in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. #BearDown
