Akiem Hicks has without a doubt been one of the Chicago Bears' best defensive players to start the season. Hicks however almost came close to putting the Bears in a bad position Sunday against the Dolphins, luckily he avoided suspension. On Thursday Hicks spoke to the media for the first time about the incident where he came in contact with an official, and was very apologetic. «I know there are a lot of young guys that look up to me on this team, and it's hypocritical of me to go out there and do things like that and come back to the locker room and think that everything's gravy,» Hicks said. «It doesn't work that way. So I wanted to make sure that our guys knew how I felt about the situation, and then I spent time with (the media).»«… I wanted them to know how I felt about the situation and how wrong my response was to the situation.»Hicks had never been kicked out of a game before and didn't enjoy watching the game from the locker room at all. He's now ready to move forward and focus on the Dolphins, so focused actually that his mindset is straight forward. «Destroy,» Hicks said. «Destroy everything.»
