He may get some safety help, but he damn sure isn't getting LT help. Best bet is a 4th round pick

Just in a couple preseason games, we see a 6th round rookie creating more havoc than Dexter has. Not that Dexter is a bad player, just doesn't fit what Allen wants. Maybe rejoin Eberflus in SF or Cunningham in Atlanta to help repay the Bears for losing the comp picks.

Dexter for a starting-quality safety or Left OT would be nice. If draft capital, I wouldn't let him go cheap (day 2 pick +). If the Bears weren't planning to sign him next year (I'm sure he will want big $$$), then trade him if the compensation makes us a better team. That could give VDB a chance to start.

My normal thought process is keep good players if we are actually going to make a SB run. I watch Greg Gabriel regularly and he mentioned after we picked up several DTs, that Dexter doesnt really fit DAs defense and could be traded. I rejected the thought but, for this to function how DA wants to play his D, it makes sense. Dont know if they do, but he doesnt have a high ceiling, so why not.

I mentioned earlier that the Bears could trade Gervin Dexter. Looks like rumors about the possibility are starting to swirl. A. He doesn't quite fit the Bears DT profile size and ability. B. They signed and drafted guys that do fit and have options. Jarrett, Gallimore, Linch, Street, Van Den Berg, and Dayo/Turner can slide inside. C. His contract is up and they most likely do not renew it due to (A. and B.) So the Bears might be feeling out what the market is. Be nice to get a 3rd from a team looking to improve now.

Even when Ozzy returns he has a long way to go to be above average, but at least has a high ceiling.

TBH, Im not sure Davenport makes the team if Kromah and lynch play well. Lynch and swing out and in . I read where he was liked where ever he played, he has a constant motor.

The coaches will give us who is playing better and who isnt. Like you I think Jones starts until Ozzy is ready. I think they played Benedet at LT to see if he can be the swing T. Wills still has to prove himself, we could just go with 3 Ts if Ozzy is back early. There's a crowded room at WR and DT so they may use the extra roster spot for other positions.

This is interesting. Last week Dennis Allen was clear when guys start playing well you want to see them against better competition. Gallimore hasn’t looked good in either game. I think VDB is already the clear DT3 and rising. DT4? We kept Hardy around last year for special teams. Kromah has outplayed him at DE.

It seems to be, you are the only one that keeps score on opinions. AND like normal you twist things I say to push whatever narrative you wish for an example. As soon as we drafted Caleb, I was all in on him, you keep referring to Justin Fields sucks. I try to support players on the team and HOPE they get better, you like to be a critic and criticize . Why are you always bringing up the past? No one cares what someone's opinion was two or three years ago. I think we have a chance to make a SB run possibly this year. This is a time to enjoy this team, not post a report card .

Gone Amegadjie is from the OT competition. I’ll still be the sole outsider because I don’t think it’s over for OT3 either

It does. If the weakness is handling speed to power rushes then chip early and take the edge off the speed. If the OT, like Ozzy, is susceptible to speed around the edge then chip off the line forcing the DE to a narrower lane. Ben did a ton of that to help Ozzy last year. Sometimes it was even done by WRs. Add in play design with rollouts, jet sweeps to keep them guessing, screens, etc Lots of options within a play which is why the Internet panic over the LT situation is overblown IMO. We have two or three average meh options and maybe one good option in Ozzy when he returns. Now if we were trying to cover up two or three weaknesses on the line as in years past then yes, I’d be worried This is also why Darnell got so much money. He can handle his side all on his own.

Again, a chip is a chip. If the tackle knows a chip is coming. He simply sets his block in a way that allows the TE or RB to get a piece. IE: it doesn't matter what the tackles weakness is. All-22 doesn't explain this?

LOL atrocious! Its like an old keystone cops comedy LOL But the good news is that Logan Jones is going to be a player for us. I like his attitude, and in time I think he's going to be a monster.

Go watch the first or second play. See Wills at LT on a run play where he run blocks to the wrong side. Roush goes into the same gap to block his guy. Then it gets comical as Wills realizes his mistake and literally runs around the defender to get on the play side.

Yes, thats a terrible rep by Benedet. I havent been saying Benedet is good, Ive just been saying that Jones is worse. My choice would be Benedet, but he's looked awful at times too. We really dont have a good option until Trapilo comes back. Also, I appreciate the film citation, we can see the same rep from the same angle, and low and behold we agree - it was BAD.

I agree with AZ, and whoever else, that Ahmed is better than Roschon.

Seeing Theo get Bull rushed badly a couple times in the last game doesn’t give me confidence. I don’t really know what happened to him because last year it took him a bit but he eventually found his anchor. Skip to 8:40 I’ll admit the QB did him no favors by badly drifting out of the pocket but on this play everyone else has their block except him.

Well, like I said, if your weakness is to the side, then help is more helpful than if you get bull rushed and the TE cant really get a chip. As for the sarcasm, yes youre a big tough boy, "mongo" lol

I tried to find some specific highlights of Ahmed from this last game and only saw the TD run. I’ll agree he looked a little better than last week. And I’d agree with you that choosing between he and RoJo would be similar to choosing between Mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. For me; Jahdae Walker is that guy. He’s made the most out of his limited opportunities. Hot take: If either Burden or Odunze prove too fragile, Walker could surpass either. 🤷‍♂️

A chip is a chip. It doesn't help one more than the other. All-22 should have explained that.

All 22 is a different angle - its much easier to see what the Offensive and Defensive lines are doing when they show that second angle on the all 22 from the endzone. People can watch all 22 film in highlights too, no doubt. I dont get a commission from NFL+ lol But to think that Im arrogant by saying that if someone watched the all 22 theyd agree with me, then it doesnt say anything about my abilities at all does it? It says that YOU (or whoever) would see with your OWN eyes, and I think agree. That means I think what im seeing is right, not that I think Im so great at watching film. You and a couple others have chosen to read me a certain way. It goes back to me saying that Justin Fields sucks. Then you called me negative. Then when I was so excited about Caleb WIlliams, and saw what he was on tape, then it was that Im arrogant, rather than negative. I think Im just right. Not because everything i think is so precious, but because I watched the tape and i have faith in what I saw. And again, it's not that I see better, because i still think many people would come to agree with what I saw if they saw it too. So that means they would be just as good at watching tape as I am, which is just normal, not any kind of genius at it. But I know its hopeless to try to explain this - to say that I often disagree with the sportswriters and "common wisdom" of the echo chamber. You see me swim upstream, and think I think im special. But I dont. i just think the sportswriters are full of shit. I watch the all 22, and then I have opinions. Most of them have turned out to be right, again, not because Im so smart, but just because iI took the time to actually watch the tape. And anyone can do that, and so I thought it would make sense to people to subscribe when I found out it was only $80 a month, so I shared that. And it got the same reaction everything I say got. At this point, it aint me fellas.

For sure putting a TE on the left side to help out whoever is playing LT makes a lot of sense. 13 personnel will hide the LT a bit, make him more like a guard. And since Benedet's chilles heel is getting beaten to the outside, and Jones' is power straight at him, 13 personnel helps Benedet more than it helps Jones. For those saying Benedet is a better Guard, that's what 13 personnel would kind of make him. I mean, of course hes still got the DE, but he doesnt have to worry anout getting beaten outside in that case. Im concerned at LT but I am truly worried about the pass rush, or lack of one.

Adam, Chad paid, then he noticed it's the same day as a auction draft that starts at 6, any suggestions?

Not too late, would rather extend and get your guy's keepers in than lock it early and miss keepers. Loveland for a 7th is locked in.
