Yeah, for sure. Penalties then throttled back a little prematurely. But I have 20/20 hindsight on that part.

Dennis Allens ennvison of Kyler came to reality today.

Thank God Gordon is back in action today.

Bad taste in my mouth after such a sweet start.

Everything going bears way…except penalties. 11 for 118 so far and at the beginning of the 4th. Any other day and you’re losing. Can’t do that against teams playing well. pS: Jahdae Walker having a REALLY bad day today. Add 15 more yards.

All what matters is having Caleb back and seeing what he brings.

Honestly I think you might’ve seen it with Case in there last week - earlier in that game. But yes, having Caleb back makes a difference.

Glad to see the energy back. Why and how is the team so different from last week to this. Need Caleb to stay healthy from here on out

Wow! Caleb is apparently the elixir everyone needed. The defense, the offense and Ben. Everyone is fired up! The energy reminds me of the Eagles game.

Bears making Loveland a priority! Defense playing motivated.

Oh yeah, great question. In a quick read (reminder for me) he’s #2 on the depth chart at CB behind Stevenson, so perhaps we’ll see more of him today? 🤷‍♂️ The reminder to me part - and intriguing at the same time - was he was a former ‘all American’ at Utah where Jaylon Johnson played. Their paths crossed briefly while Phillips was a freshman and Jaylon a senior. And to add a little fictional intrigue, what a chance to play against the team that traded you away because they thought you expendable?

Sounds like him and Gordon will split time at nickel today since Gordon is on a snap count as they ease him back.

Whatever happened to the CB we received in the Dexter trade? The only reason I thought it was a fair offer was the kid we received sounded like a decent backup CB, not a pro bowler by any means, but not a bad dude to have around. Was his disappearance a sign he was a garbage add-on?

BJ commented on him last week - was basically a no comment but it didn’t imply anything soon. I think it was a pretty darn serious injury so the 4 months was an extremely optimistic window vs likely. That said I hope you are right. They added McCloud so seems like they wanted a CB vs Safety knowing Lewis was sliding over. With Stevenson playing all year hurt, JJ struggling and Malik still a rookie I presume this was maybe also prioritizing position.

Lot’s of good news. While I have no issue with them cutting Woods it does make me wonder if that also means that Bryant is getting close to entering his practice window. Initially they said 4 to 6 months so from the injury date of 3 Aug the shortest timeline there puts him back at the end of Nov. Then you see players like Trapilo and Williams returning ahead of schedule from significant injuries and I wonder if Bryant might also be a couple weeks ahead of schedule.

Woods was playing awful so I support that. With Gordon back I presume Lewis will play safety opposite DT. Caleb back too. Good to get these guys back (plus Shemar). Trapillo is also likely to get a drive or two and be active for first time all season as well.

I remember him now. Remember the RBs running drills during camp and noted he had really fast feet and tree trunks for thighs. Highlights here show he does pretty good as a catching back and mostly is a North / South runner. I’d like to see what he can offer.

For a player to lose over $1m per game the NFL would have to hear an appeal very quickly or there is risk of liability. Then when/if a player wins an appeal clubs won’t like coming back and paying someone for games not played. It’s not just paychecks lost it can also be games lost which affects playoffs. It’s hard to see how anyone would setup a process like that since the league office works for the owners. That’s why I think it’s most likely the appeal’s process is already done.

I’ve been off Roschon bandwagon since last year. The most likely explanation for Xavier Scott, 6’1” 220lbs, being activated over Ahmed, 5’11" 196lbs, is that he’s better on special teams. I’ve seen it said that Xavier Scott is also good at pass pro as well but cannot vouch for that. He spent some time last year as the 3rd RB for the Vikings catching a few passes. They’ve activated Scott again this week and given how poorly Roschon ran last week I’m wondering if they have them switch roles moving Roschon back to special teams and letting Scott handle some running plays. It’s a pretty low bar: Roschon Johnson rushed five times for six yards and caught five passes for 34 yards in the Bears' Week 5 loss to the Packers.

Was just about the post that too. And among some other roster moves they cut Xavior Woods, which is quizzical to me. With Bryant out for a bit longer who will play opposite Thieneman; Elijah Hicks or Skyler Thomas? Edit: Biggs says Cam Lewis will be safety opposite Thieneman https://www.chicagobears.com/_mobileview/news/chicago-bears-announce-roster-moves-october-17-2026?hidebanner=true&adobe_mc=TS%3D1792263692%7CMCMID%3D05256117061159766471400771852550346093%7CMCORGID%3DF75C3025512D2C1D0A490D44%40AdobeOrg

Yeah, Roschon is low IQ as a runner, but trusted in pass protection. If Ahmed can pick up the pass pro part, he may be an option. Ben's system is predicated on being able to run multiple sets off the same look. Can't do that if you don't block.

I wonder if they went with the other guy to save ahmed for later in the season. I know you can only activate and move back to practice squad so many times with vets. Added Edit... looks like 3 times they can elevate then have to be signed to 53 or released.

Kyler Gordon was just activated

I was wrong about seeing RoJo fill in. He’s no good. Can see why Ben has been keeping him low on the totem pole. Would rather see preseason darling Ahmed give it a crack - as backup.

Booker has been barking for more reps. Let's see how he plays. Monongai hurts.
