Yeah, so many possibilities. I cant believe what an excellent coach feels like. I cant believe how bad we've had it for so long. And add in Caleb - it's our turn to be a top franchise for the foreseeable future. What a great time to be a Bears fan.

Maybe but this is Zavion comes into play because he can be a RB or your deep threat and anywhere in between.

Ben is the Matchup King. Good info on coverage stats for our LBers. More excellent analysis, adam. Thank you. I remember when our Vic Fangio solved the Rams with a two high safety scheme, setting this trend in motion. Coaches like Eberflus, Nagy, even Lovie were riding schemes and trends on the back end. Johnson clearly understands where the opportunities are now.

Ive seen a few versions, people are guessing and it stinks bc they look official

I'm seeing the entire schedule posted on Instagram. I don't know if it's real, so I'm not sharing.

Correct, ive mentioned that earlier. The Bears save cap because TEs make less and you are only playing one or two. That also makes Zav Thomas more valuable as a player who could line up at WR/RB.

and this move to more 13-personnel would reduce the overall snap count of the WR group. Thus making Moore even more expendable. Even 12 personnel can cut down on WR snaps, but 13-personnel brings it down to 1x WR, so even Burden or Odunze will be off the field for those plays.

I’d like to say I’lI feel sorry for the Panther fans having to watch Caleb vs Young on the same field but I won’t. Best deal ever. in fact they can watch: Chicago Bears received: QB Caleb Williams, WR DJ Moore, OT Darnell Wright, CB Tyrique Stevenson, P Tory Taylor, WR Luther Burden IIIWe traded DJ for Sam Roush.

So far, so good...

Poles seems to find the odd advantages. Loading up on DBs and now coverage LBs. Both have to do with a passing league. Now if he can figure out Oline, which seems much better and then Dline (kryptonite)

Week 1 - @CAR Week 7 TNF - NE Week 12 - Thanksgiving - @DET

It basically forces teams to use 3 LBs. Looking at LB coverage grades, I was surprised to see D'Marco Jackson as the 2nd highest rated LB in coverage, only behind Fred Warner. 4th was a guy named Devin Bush who played in CLE last year. 18th was TJ Edwards. So the Bears have 3 of the top 18 coverage LBs in the NFL. On the flip side, there are a few others from the division, Cooper from GB was 9th and Campbell from DET was 12th. So the Bears may have gotten ahead of this trend on both offense and defense.

It seems that we finally have one benefit, the 3rd least amount of travel: and if the Bears open the season in Seattle on Wednesday, they would have 3,432 miles already out of the way and have the least amount of travel for the remainder of the season by a huge margin. Panthers are the least with 8,740, but if the Bears got that 3400 out of the way before Carolina even played, the Bears would only have about 7,244 left (the least by 1500 miles). Teams like SF and LAR will spend over 4 days worth of time on airplanes during the season.

The Bears play the toughest schedule (based on last year's results), but at least we stay home. No overseas games for the Bears. GOOD! 2026 international games: 🏈Week 1: Rams/49ers (Australia) 🏈Week 3: Ravens/Cowboys (Brazil) 🏈Week 4: Colts/Commanders (London) 🏈Week 5: Eagles/Jaguars (London) 🏈Week 6: Texans/Jaguars (London) 🏈Week 7: Steelers/Saints (France) 🏈Week 9: Bengals/Falcons (Spain) 🏈Week 10: Patriots/Lions (Germany) 🏈Week 11: Vikings/49ers (Mexico)

Just read this article, and I'm totally pumped for 13 personnel packages this year. Why Bears rookie tight end Sam Roush fits head coach Ben Johnson’s vision Great article on Roush, best I've read since we drafted him. Goes into a ton of detail on what to expect from him. Tough kid. Missed 1/2 of 1 practice the entire time at Stanford, and only because they forced him to leave the field with a temperature of 102. On an assigned chip block, he managed to "chip" his man so hard that he was propelled back into a DT, and he got 2 pancakes on one block. It details how we had great success running 13 personnel last year. I'm surprised BJ didn't call it more often. After reading this article, I have no doubt we will more than double the number of 13 personnel plays.

Glad to see Caleb working with WRs and Loveland outside of the facility. Burden, Jahdae, Odunze, and Loveland seem to be getting extra work in which is great to see. First at USC then at Northwestern.

Then you add the lack of compensation for the Cunningham stuff and the recent scheduling, it seems that Goodell doesn't care too much for the McCaskeys. If you look at the bye weeks, the Bears have gotten shafted almost every year. They never get a favorable bye. Then when they had an international game, it was considered a home game, so they ended up with only 7 games at Soldier Field.

The great Squirrel White retired yesterday. He wont be remembered.

could be. whatever it is, he was just a brief squirrel in the yard

I think the Bears told him "sorry kid, it doesn't look good and if you recover, come back". They own his contact for 3 years. White can concentrate on rehab or another career.

LOL both of you. I think he realized he wasnt going to make the cut. And that's kinda weak. Maybe he realized he wasnt ready with his injury, and then he had no choice, not weak.

Kinda squirrelly if you ask me. Likely got caught doing something he shouldn’t have been doing.

Maybe got on this site...or hanging with Zah?

So I guess Squirrel just quit. The Bears will retain his rights should he return to football, but for now he retired. So I guess he is fast in some things lol
