Bearstalk

Today was a great day for Phil Emery. He brought in one of the top TE's and a LT that has been to 2 probowls. Two positions that had cost the Bears many chances to win last season. It seems like we get a Christmas every offseason, which hopefully with some good drafts will not be needed in the future. Bears signings: Martellus Bennett TE - One of top all around TE's available, if Bennett keeps his head in the game. Jermon Bushrod LT- 2 time probowl LT for Brees, Bushrod faced a pass rush probably close to 70% of the game. The Bears won't be as pass happy and more balanced, throwing off opposing DE's that normally were ready to attack. *Brian Ur…

it gets my vote.

Week 17 - Flexed to the afternoon slot to align with LAR/SF and PHI/WAS games. Early line has the Vikings favored by 5. If they are assuming we are resting starters, fine, but it seems odd that the Vikings are favored by more than 3 at home against an 11-4 team. In comparison, the Ravens are favored by 5.5 at home against Cleveland. A lot on the line. Potential to get a first-round bye with a win and Rams loss. Also, the outcome of our game directly impacts who we play as the #6 seed. If we play everyone, I think we win another tough game 23-20. If we rest players, I think Minnesota wins 27-17.

KC gave up a first-rounder who could've been an OT on a rookie deal or packaged all the picks they traded and moved up to get a better one.

Monty has one more year on his rookie deal and has been very solid for the Bears over the last two years. I can't wait to get him back in the lineup where the Bears will have a real 1-2 punch in Monty and Herbert. Thru last week, with Monty missing a few games, their stats are very similar but they are completely different runners: Monty 69-309, 4.5 Y/A, 6-49. Herbert 58-279, 4.8 Y/A, 7-48. If Herbert keeps this up, and looks legit in a small sample size, the Bears will have to decide if they want to extend Monty, which seemed like a no-brainer just a few weeks ago. Now, I don't know. If Herbert is running this good and you can bring in a true fullback…

Huge signing (according to Pace), this obviously addresses the need at TE. I don't expect another TE to be signed.

Here is how the 1st Round Rookie QBs stack up the last two weeks: Fields: 44-72, 61.1%, 509 yds, 7.07 Y/A, 3 TD, 2 INT, 16-109 yds Lawrence: 46-78, 59.0%, 431 yds, 5.53 Y/A, 0 TD, 4 INT, 6-23 yds Jones: 28-48, 58.3%, 318 yds, 6.63 Y/A, 2 TD, 2 INT, 6-9 yds Wilson: 32-65, 49.2%, 372 yds, 5.72 Y/A, 0 TD, 0 INT, 8-45 yds Jones is the only one in a great system. The other 3 are playing with very little talent, in bad schemes, on bad teams. With all that, Fields still seems to be distancing himself from the others, accounting for 150 more yards than Lawrence (2nd) over the last 2 weeks. If he can cut down on the turnovers and sacks, he is going to be…

Getting Zack Bowman and Danieal Manning back on the field before the start of the regular season is a priority for the Bears and both are scheduled to play in Thursday night's exhibition finale against Cleveland. As they have nursed hamstring injuries, neither has played in the team's first three exhibitions. It remains unclear how much the two are expected to play at Soldier Field, although Manning is likely to see time at nickel back and not free safety. "We're going to be together at the right time," Manning said of the secondary after Sunday's game. "I know we will be ready for the regular season. I don't feel like [the defensive backs] are going to be the w…

A writer for The Athletic took 70 sites big boards and made a consensus big board. So lets say this IS the board all teams use for value of players. We have 39-48-71 and I think the first three positions that we take are OL, DT and WR, in some order As you look at the board the sweet spot imo is 40-75, were our three picks are.. WR--40. Pickens. DT 44 Logan Hall. OT 53 Tyler Smith 47 Watson. 54 D. Leaf. 61 D Faalele 57 Skyy Moore. 59 Winfrey. 64 D Kinnard 58 Metchie lll. …

QB Rating Calculator A bit off topic but for those who like to crunch numbers like I do I found this QB Rating Calculator and thought I would share the link with you. I have seen others in the past but this one is pretty slick, IMO.
