Not only that, he's "Major Burns"...🤣

lol

me too! This is part of what i thought was missing from Eberflus! I like when the coaches yell at the players. They can do it to break them down, but they can do it to build them up too.

I just think it's hilarious to imagine a team trading a rookie they just drafted in the first round a month ago LOL It's such homer thinking, I got a real laugh out of it.

Any OC in the league would love to have our offensive weapons. A good offense will give everyone valuable snaps. When the fifth passing option has the best catch rate of all TEs in the league, you're scoring lots of points.

EB is hardcore. They say Ben Johnson has that in him. Anyone know what temperament DA, has ? I love when coaches just say what it is instead of politically correct speak.

You don’t pick up a defensive back if any kind whose last name is “burns.”

I think that’s realistic, and it confirms what I think the Loveland pick means: they’re wasting Kmet until they cut him.

I bet Swift hits his running lanes quicker this year...

Welcome to the new Bears camp. EB will let them know if he doesn't like something he sees.

I love this! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16GD6fRagx/

Kinda like CBS having Jayden Daniels as QB1 of the league...🤯

People post stupid crap all the time on Twitter. Every time a player is cut , wants money, or wants a trade, Bears fans post insider information having them coming here. Bagent mght be more attractive if he had more snaps in the league.

Saw this on twitter: Trade Bagent and Braxton to the Saints for Banks Jr LOL and while we are at it - we should trade DJ for Fields to fill the hole at QB2. LOL

Well Im no fan of either of them. I think Gabriel is terrible and almost always wrong, but we agree on Lambert. He is a click farming whore LOL He posts EVERYTHING even when it is contradictory to the last thing he posted. I dont even think you can say Lambert has any beliefs or a point of view. In the last two weeks before the draft he had articles saying we were definitely taking 15 different players LOL

I just want to make clear that I am in no way associated with people talking about trading Moore! That guy is a player! I also think we all agree that Kmet will not be traded right away, so he will get a chance to show who he can be on the field, and also how Johnson wants to use him. In Detroit, only one TE really got targets, the other was an inline blocking TE. I know that Johnson has said he wont run the exact same offense here, and I took that to mean (before the draft!) that he could get the LaPorta routes from a slot WR. i thought maybe a guy like McMillan. Now that we have Loveland (AND Burden too!) we have ways to work the middle of the field, and so I see the role of TE2 in our offense as being an inline blocker. And so that brings me to think Kmet wont stick around too long. Not because he isnt good, but because Loveland is better as a receiving TE, and Kmet isnt really THAT good of a blocker. Its not hate for Kmet, I think hes a decent TE, but I think Loveland is just a lot better and will be a star in this league. I also think that we arent used to trading players who are good. Our roster has been so poor for so long that we dont have experience with roster turnover of good players the way they did it in New England for example back in the day. So for these reasons, i think Kmet will get traded before opening day next year. But i fully agree that Kmet will get a chance to show Johnson what he can do, and if he balls out, then my calculation will change. And with so many mouths to feed already in Moore, Odunze, Loveland and Burden, and what ive seen on film of Kmet so far, I wouldnt bet on Kmet sticking around? Also I expect a BIG year from Odunze. But this is VERY different from how I felt about Leno, Fields, Waldron and Flus. Those guys SUCK. Kmet does not suck. He's a decent middle of the pack NFL TE. I just dont think hes special, and we are getting to the point on this roster where decent isnt good enough. Someone else will be very happy to have Kmet, but no kids are going to buy his jersey. And again, all that is contingent on the status quo. If this lights a fire under Kmets butt and he shows us stuff I havent seen from him before, then of course all bets are off.

Kmet is more than a blocking TE. The other TE in Detroit didnt get targets because he is a blocking TE. In 2023 LaPorta had 120 targets'/86 catches at 52 yds a game 10 TDs. catch rate. 71.2 % In 2023 Kmet had 90 targets/ 70 catches at 42 yds a game 6 TDs. Kmet had the best catch rate in the league. 81.1% 3 Top WRs and 2 Top TEs is a OCs dream.

Last year Detriot gave up 33 sacks with the best line in the league. 35 to 40 is acceptable.

Agree. I’d say top ten in the NFL is the goal.

If Ben Johnson prefers the Laporta type TE and Kmets role is TE 2 or blocking, then I agree with Phoenix that he will be traded sooner than later. But Johnson isn't going to do exactly what he did in Detroit and might find a way to implement both. With the personal they have, they can run so many formations that will defenses won't know how to defend

Correct. Which is also why drafting Loveland was a bad move. Like I said before, like the player but hate the pick.

Rumors are the Bears are working on extending Bagent so they don't outright lose him in FA.

Right now I'd say Rattler is their starter. And I don't see Bagent going anywhere at this point. But do have a full QB room, so who knows.

I wonder if they are interested, or want to go full tank mode. Bagent would win them some games. They also drafted Shough in the 2nd round.
