http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...g-an-education/ I'm not 100% that Dungy is all that, but I certainly think that this is a very good move by Smith. They are trying to better themselves. Kudos for this.

This is interesting and while it's PFF it's still telling that Daniels improved quite a bit back at his natural spot. Whitehair too is a better OG. Maybe instead of focusing on drafting a RG early we should be looking to draft OC and move Whitehair to RG? https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-rankings-following-2019-regular-season A silver lining for the group came from James Daniels after he switched over to left guard. Daniels’ 73.9 overall grade at left guard ranked fifth among all qualifiers at the position. With that said....this guy has a little Quenton Nelson style in the way he blocks.

Even more reason to get rid of this coaching staff: From Brad Biggs in the Tribune: It would be far from accurate to say the Bears lost this game because they didn’t hand the ball off to Jordan Howard for running plays from the shotgun formation. But a week after having good success running the ball from that formation in Cincinnati, the Bears didn’t try it once. Howard had 10 carries from the shotgun against the Bengals for 97 yards and two touchdowns. It was strong production from their most consistent offensive performer. It was not a surprise. Howard led all NFL running backs out of the shotgun as a rookie in 2016 when he averaged 7.0 yards per carry (…

Hopefully they are all 100% as well (and not still 75 or 80%). Great to have those guys back. Will be interesting to see if Shaheen is active on Sunday.

I was surprised to see Montgomery listed among the top 5 on this list. I think he's a good fit for what we need and his ability to make the first unblocked defender miss will add significantly to our offense even if he doesn't have breakaway speed. Regardless I'm not sure I see him as a top 5 RoY candidate. If he's in the discussion late in the season it means our offense is kicking some butt. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001030975/article/top-25-nfl-rookies-in-best-position-for-year-1-success 5) David Montgomery, RB, Chicago Bears: We're riding the Montgomery hype train with colleague/conductor Adam Rank.

Big win, nice game Bears!!!!!

Martz interviewed recently claims that the O could be ready in one day if need be for HOF game.He bases his assessment on the fact that they don't really set up game plans for preseason games and it would be basically looking at personnel and correcting things execution-wise. This contradicts Devin Hester's comments saying it would take about a week and a half and is also contrary to the league and the player's associations sense of urgency to try and get a deal agreed upon by the Owner's meeting in Atlanta on July 21. Mike Martz's comments are one reason why some head coaches don't like assistants talking to the media. I still remember his Jay Cutler "Body Lang…

Looking at the draft picks in our division, the writer says that the Vikings should be worried about...our top two! Do you agree with this? http://thevikingage.com/2012/07/02/top-5-n...le-this-season/

Being a fellow FSU fan... was just curious... I really dont recall him much FSU Tampa

Read the excerpt(s) from the article.... "If Chris Williams makes that transition to guard beginning Sunday against the Seahawks, he will follow in the footsteps of players such as Robert Gallery, Leonard Davis, Mike Williams and Chester Pitts. Others, such as Daryn Colledge of the Packers, were moved immediately from tackle to guard when they became pros. The Packers have experimented with Bryan Bulaga, their first round pick this year, playing guard as well as tackle." If Williams is incapable of playing left tackle in the NFL, nobody knows it yet as he has had only seven starts. If you want to give up on Williams now, you probably also would have given u…

I have the "Everything" package with Dish Network, tons of channels, but on searching have only found that it will be aired as a replay on Saturday on NFL Network. Surely it will be aired live???? Anyone know if it is being aired live in Chicago area?

Once again we lose another potential OC. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...ator-candidate/

According to Nagy, we're in a "good spot at LG" with Kush and Daniels but we just signed a guy who played for two years in KC but has otherwise bounced around the league. Roster moves: The Bears on Monday officially placed outside linebacker Sam Acho on injured reserve and signed offensive lineman Bryan Witzmann.

Here is the 53-Man projection from Windy City GridIron. I feel like TE and OL are really thin (with Coward hurting). I don't know if Sowell makes it over someone like Bunting. OFFENSE (25) Quarterback (2): Mitchell Trubisky, Chase Daniel Running back (5): Tarik Cohen, David Montgomery, Mike Davis, Kerrith Whyte Jr., Ryan Nall Wide receiver (6): Allen Robinson II, Taylor Gabriel, Anthony Miller, Javon Wims, Riley Ridley, Cordarrelle Patterson Tight ends (4): Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen, Ben Braunecker, Bradley Sowell Offensive line (8): Charles Leno Jr., Cody Whitehair, James Daniels, Kyle Long, Bobby Massie, Ted Larsen, Alex Bars, Rashaad Coward …

At 5-4, a win against MIN on MNF is the only way we have a chance at the playoffs. If the Bears lose and go to 5-5, the season is over. However, I think they win and go to 6-4 into the bye. If they do, they still have work to do in the highly competitive NFC. There is a chance that 7 teams win 10 games and the 7th team doesn't make the playoffs. Here is the main competition for the playoffs: 1. New Orleans 7-2, currently 1st in Division, but lost Brees for several weeks. They have the tie breaker against the Bears, only 1 game against teams in the hunt. I project them no worse than 11-5, but expect 12-4 or 13-3. The Brees injury could be huge if he is out extend…

JJ Stankevitz did a good job breaking down our 4th quarter TD drive. I didn't even realize we never had a 3rd down on that drive. All the way down the field it was a first down every two plays until we scored. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/bears-film-breakdown-matt-nagys-playcalling-shines-critical-second-half-scoring-drive-against

Since week 1 Cutler is 66-93 for 624 yards 8td's(1rush) I INT for a QB rating of 109.7 and comp pct of 70.9%. Its amazing how much the media was bashing him after the GB game and now all of sudden there tone is completely different lol.
