Bearstalk

Looks like not all our former players aren't all that!

The #7 is retired as it was Papa Bear's number! Go with 17...

You're FIRED!!!!

Noots' Notes

I see Merriweather/s is now available and Ingram/lb. from NO. Who is now available to help us.

I just got High Speed Internet today and went to check www.nfl.com and I get an Embarq (service provider) page stating it couldn't find the site.

Here's your chance to say what you would have done now that you have 20/20 hindsight. The rules are No removing the trades No extra trades Players can only be selected if they went at or after the Bears picks

Anyone interested in doing a community Mock Draft? We did one a few years ago and it was pretty successful. We can each pick a few teams and start picking until the draft starts and go as far as we can go.

Did anyone else get mad at our running plays , too many fakes before Forte gets the ball, damn just give him the ball and let the line try to open a split second hole for him, instead of the line having hold the defense so long.

Ok.. not Bears related, but we had a discussion at work about college bye weeks. Do the conferences determine the bye weeks for each team? We noticed some teams always have a bye week before facing each other, and some are just random.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Monty for his performance over the last few weeks. Lazor has emphasized the run and Monty and the O-Line have not disappointed. With such a turbulent season, revolving O-Line, QB swap, and yet Monty is still putting up top-10 RB numbers across the board. Here is where he stands in some major categories: 7th in Rushing Yards (906) 9th in Rushing Yards per game (69.7) 5th in yards after contact (485) T-7th in yards after contact per attempt (2.4) T-2nd broken tackles (24) T-2nd broken tackles per attempt (8.4) 10th in yards from scrimmage (1255) T-7th touches (245) 9th in receptions for RB T-1st with 0 fumbles …

Roster construction is all about bang for your buck. How can you squeeze the most out of the least while staying under the cap. At the end of the day, production has to match the pay in order to field a winning team. Based on 2020 cap hit and AV, here were the top 10 most productive players per dollar last year: David Montgomery Tashaun Gipson Bilal Nichols Darnell Mooney Jaylon Johnson Cairo Santos Brent Urban Barkevious Mingo Anthony Miller Roquan Smith The worst values were Skrine and Demetrius Harris, but interestingly enough the next 3 players that had cap hit over $1M and an AV below 10 were: Foles Fuller Graham The bi…

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/no-tea...beat-the-draft/ It basically says that nobody is beating the draft. Most are average at best. Only a few teams do well consistently, and even then their main guys get fired after one or two misses. It also analyzes the GMs (I'd love to see where Angelo falls into that analysis). I particularly liked the portion about "The Loser’s Curse", which essentially "argues that NFL decision-makers shouldn’t be so quick to attribute the apparent efficiency of the draft market to an abundance of picking skill. To do so is hubris." I've been saying this for quite some time. These owners/GMs aren't as good at picking players a…

Found seats about twenty rows up on Stubhub for a decent price. I absolutely stoked. Hopefully they show like they did in Monday night. Bear down!
