ASHKUM BEAR

For the heck of it....an early look at a mock draft. TEAM PICKS 16: R1 P16 OT Samuel Cosmi - Texas 48: R2 P16 OT Alaric Jackson - Iowa 79: R3 P15 DL Christian Barmore - Alabama 157: R5 P16 S James Wiggins - Cincinnati 194: R6 P15 WR Marquez Stevenson - Houston 216: R6 P37 RB Brian Robinson Jr. - Alabama 220: R6 P41 CB DJ Daniel - Georgia 227: R7 P5 LB Tuf Borland - Ohio State I like this one more. They left out 2 6th rd comp picks, so figure a CB and S can be had. Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 16: Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State (B-) Round 2 Pick 16: Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan (B+) Round 3 Pick 15: Tedarrell Slaton, DT, Florida (A+) Round 5 Pick 16: Jaret Patterson, RB, Buffalo (A+) Round 6 Pick 16: Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota State (A+) Round 7 Pick 8: Sam Ehlinger, QB, Texas (A+)

And then instead of trading up for WR Miller, taken Orlando Brown Jr for RT. 1st RD - Mike McGlinchey. LT 2nd RD - James Daniel's C/G 3rd RD - Orlando Brown Jr RT We would be better by a milestone.

True, all the talking heads were saying the Bears only started Trubusky because of Pace and now that he got pulled we will see how this offense is supposed to be ran. What excuse did we hear from the same talking heads after the garbage Foles brought, let's blame the oline. Maybe Trubisky could have been the QB we wanted if they would have invested in the oline instead of Roquan. Mike McGlinchey was taken immediately after. Love Roquan, but LTs are rare and a must even if they just extended Leno.

Trubisky is probably counting down the days to get out of dodge and hopes to avoid any more injury. Belichick will pluck him from FA and turn him into a solid 10 yr QB.

A genius would have known how good the D was and created a ball control run offense. Instead Nagys early years of designing this Frankenstein offense had to be used now because it was his life's work and his path to fame. It could have been the greatest thing we have ever seen, but it was built with scraps. If he had patience to modify his work to fit what parts he had he could have built a monster that transformed into his vision over time. Now he will have to choose what to disgard of because he cannot afford all the pieces next year.

It was in his best interest. The team is at the crossroads and failure would fall squarely on him if he refused to change. Now he can shed some light either way the team goes. They need this game more than anything.

I am glad he finally released the reins of playcalling. Like a young QB, sometimes holding the clip board and watching helps you grow. If the offense finds rhythm, great. Not saying they have to play like all-stars, but look like an NFL unit. They have enough games to build upon and if Foles can look the part, it would be great to see the early picks go to rebuilding the line.

They could do that, but it could possible have the lame coach effect. Wipe the slate clean unless the new GM wants the coach. They will have to go through an overhaul again. Try trading older players for draft capital, build you front lines first and find your key position leaders (which on D, I think we are good with Roquan and EJackson) On O, need the QB and good chance a WR.

What new GM would want to be forced to keep a coach? That has been a major problem with this organization. If one goes they both go, imo. If that happens, work fast to get a new GM in to get his coaches, scouts, etc so they can build the team in their mold.

It has been argued numerous times the oline needs to be addressed often. Even though it was encouraging to see Whitehair and Daniel's develop, that was not enough. Not sure how they can pull it off now that they need a QB. Gonna need another #1 WR the way it looks and Montgomery is not a bellcow. There is a ton of pieces needed.

I fell off Nagy's wagon late last year. He is not an offensive guru. Maybe with the perfect team, but that's not happening. They have another list of needs QB, 2 OT, RB, DT, CB, S

There is a back shoulder throw. Couple nice plays by Foles. 10-3

Foles imo would call a better game. Did it seem after every timeout or the 2 minute clock stop, the Bears offense came out and the play got blown up. That has a story to it too.

I would say so. I hope he succeeds and see him smiling like Leonard Floyd. I wish they found it here, but something just didn't click.

Heck, Foles is ranked 34th for yards per attempt, he is behind Trubisky at 30th. Mitch can run and pass, just has trouble understanding defenses. That was not good and Griese won't get any off the record talk from players anymore. Now Foles and Nagy have to sort this out and explain it.

Read this today. Since taking over the offense, the Foles lead offense has been worse...actually last in NFL. Trubisky at the helm produced over 300 yds a game, Foles 263. Passer rating: Trubisky 87.4, Foles 77.6, QBR: Trubisky 56.4, Foles 46.2. TDs/INT: Trubisky 6 td 3 int, Foles 6 td 6 int. Yards per carry avg: Trubisky 10.9, Foles -1 yd per carry avg. I know it is skewed with the Defenses they played, but just saying.

Nice breakdown, Mongo. That had to take some time. I thought maybe Foles would elevate the offense, but not sure if he can. Too many issues to overcome from penalties, missed assignments, and bad play calls. He has missed throws and has had many throws into double and triple coverage, thrown off back foot and made mistakes analysts have been critical on Trubisky for. I will say he does understand coverages and blitzes better, but we still can't score. Maybe the Bears can implement a two QB system. Play them both, whomever has the hot hand gets more snaps. Foles is known as the great reliever or plays his best coming off the bench. Why not give it a shot.

The Bears hands are tied. They are over the cap next year unless they cut or restructure some players. One offensive tackle will be gone if not both, Fuller will have to agree to a new contract. Then throw in the cap allowance getting lowered because of loss of revenue this year. Pace will have hands full. Not a good year to try to try to bring in a new GM either.

I know the line is and has been on fire, a dumpster fire. Now the people who were Foles ppl, not saying on here but more media, are saying it is because of the line. They couldn't say it with Mitch. They said he couldn't read, throws off his back foot, has bad accuracy. What the heck has Foles been? He struggles too and the excuses of getting accumulated are over that is why the oline play is now spoken. I put more blame on the play caller. Good player coach sure, but this offense is garbage. He was hired to make Mitch and make the offense great.

Now we will see some over the shoulder catches....

It would be great to go into a bye week after this. Glad someone told the D to get off the field as they tried to dance after a finally Eddie Jackson TD. I wouldn't mind seeing some Trubisky again. With this oline, the QB needs to have mobility

Cute, put the mini package in while in redzone. There is a reason size/target is a thing. Now they cannot tackle either, pathetic.

Fingers crossed, I have tickets for the Titans game.

26th with Nagy, Foles, adding Defilippo, Castillo, and Lazor. This part is frustrating. Goes to show you need a star QB, decent oline, a running game, and lots of speed. By the time any of those pieces are in place the defense will be depleated. The Bears going into 2021 will be over the cap. Going to have to trim quite a bit because the cap will decrease too. If they do continue to win, we are looking at 20 or after for a pick which puts us in a RT or CB/S range. Might be a QB that has traits but needs time. I wish Nagy and Pace would have realized what they had on D and built a power run game with a great FG kicker. With this D, we still have a shot and maybe the offense will start clicking as Foles gets accumulated.

If Trubisky is cheap, he is up for a contract. Nagy just needs to re-think his genius. He is not far and I thought he would learn but no..
