The one I posted was from the Bears. I don't know where Ourlads gets theirs from.

Work travel, limited access to internet while on site. I am back now until early September.

I dont know if its just me, but I havent seen you around for awhile, is everything ok?

I dont think that list has been updated, is there a date on it? Here is a 8/5/2025 depth chart from Ourlads. It has Jones at 1 but I dont think this changes until we get thru the preseason. With Kmet getting hurt it now lists Loveland at 1. https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/CHI

With Keenan Allen signing a 8.3 mil contract with the Chargers do we get a comp pick for that ? Does anyone know?

Totally understand that.

That didnt open but I think I already saw it. The best interview I ever saw Caleb give. I think it was Marquee sports that did the interview. Its called The Chicago Football Show. I went to their channel and couldnt find it. If its a different one let me know so I can watch it.

Might mean nothing, but here are some interesting developments: 1. Loveland and Kmet both as "starters" 2. Jones over Trapilo at starting LT 3. Monangai as RB6, Homer still RB3 4. Duvernay as WR4, Burden WR5 5. Bagent as QB2, Keenum QB3 6. 3x DTs listed as starters (Jarret, Dexter, Billings) 7. Sewell over Hyppolite at LB 8. Stevenson as CB2 over Smith and Wright

I wouldnt want to try to predict when this offense will be rolling, but it seems that if they keep making progress, they have everything to get it rolling, and thatrs gonna be really fun. It seems very likely that given enough time, these guys are gonna be dangerous. Hopefully early, but either way, eventually.

Sorry, the blood rushed to the wrong head with Stacey Dale's being in the interview. Couldn't take it...🤯❤️🥰

This was not the type of practice they should do all the time - but you also have to practice with real intensity and balance and I love the tone they are trying to set. And Biggs said since lovie all of the other major bear outlets said most physical and intense they had ever seen. Any way you slice it - this is a very different coaching staff and tone that is being taken. It also sounds like it was a pretty damn good practice with flash plays by offense and defense!

This is a great interview with Caleb. You can get a sense of what is to come and just how complicated this offense is. Given all that, how far Caleb and the offense has already come in just two weeks is impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOnSKU1UHtU

I think Dennis Allen served a wake up call to the offense in front of the family crowd and embarassed and challenged them. This physical practice is probably the result of that - and it's good to see people getting dialed in. They will have to do a bunch more gut checks accompanied by a step up in intensity like this until they are ready to dominate other NFL teams. In the past I think we've tried to hang with NFL teams. It requires another level of intensity to dominate a pro team. When they're at the level that they see each week as an actual fight and nothing less than a beat down is OK, THEN this team will be a real contender. Another step forward. Keep stacking them.

Former Packer.. https://www.si.com/nfl/bears/first-rule-of-bears-fight-club-ben-johnson-likes-a-physical-practice "Maybe the most physical play didn’t involve a skirmish or shoving. Tight end Joel Wilson caught a pass near the sideline and floated toward the boundary but really fast. Safety Major Burns let him know he better get out quicker than he did by laying on a huge hit that sent the former Packers player sprawling a few yards to the turf out of bounds."

Everyone reporting on today's practice were gushing.

The most physical day of practice all year. On a downer note, Kmet left with an injury and he was visable upset, so it may not be minor. 4 fights broke out and Brad Briggs said this is the most physical practice he has seen since Lovie took over as coach.

Just seen where Jordan Addison just pleaed No contest to a DUI charge and is suspected he gets a 3 game suspension to start the season which makes him not available for our first game. I would have to say that helps our cause to have a win.

My two favorite ex Bears personalities are Dave and Olin. Respect their opinions. As much as its a roller coaster ride in the preseason, I think BJ will pull back and does game plans according to what Caleb's strengths are and slowly expand that as the season progresses.

Ben Johnson is definitely different. He’s like no coach I’ve seen the Bears have in my lifetime. Every second I hear how he operates or see it - just gives me confidence. My only real struggle right now is Caleb not throwing guys open given he struggled a ton with it last year. I get that it is still new system and they are throwing a lot at him - but I want to see progress these next few weeks and then of course throughout the season. Im excited though for Ben - seems like the absolute real deal!

This is different. Talking about the players starts at 12 min. Oline around the 14 min mark.

exactly. But Miami will. He was pretty good on his college tape, moves well laterally, and is naturally wide. But some of these pass rushers have speed and hands and they are slippery as hell. Cant wait to see Trapilo try to handle that. And even if he gets beat a few times, if he learns, that will be great.

My concern with Trapilo is somewhat the opposite of Braxton Jones: Can he handle speed on the edge? We have nobody on our roster to really test him that way.

I agree with both of you. Id like to see it soon, but it might take a minute, but it's hard to imagine this group not figuring it out over time. The roster and the staff are much better than anything we've seen in quite a while, and in some ways, ever. I dont want to have patience, and I am going to see every mistake in the early games of course, but if it doesnt come fast, that doesnt mean it isnt coming. We will see what needs fixing, and if players need replacing - which isnt always the same thing at all. If Trapilo is rough early for example that's different than if DJ Moore is screwing up. One you expect to have a growth period, and the other is a polished pro who should be his normal great self. But i think this team should grow into something special, and i hope it happens fast, but if it takes a minute, we should be seeing growth at least. I won't lose hope right away if we start slow.
