ASHKUM BEAR

How much do the Bears save on his 1.2 million contract?

I think we will see how it works by 5 pm tonight when the 53 is set. Not sure if there is cap savings maybe from surprise cut or maybe another trade.

DB Terrell Smith has been waived. I thought he played pretty good yesterday and had hopes that he would have a shot this year being healthy. WR- Scotty Miller also waived.

For sure. If he is going somewhere to start, a second is a bargain. The Bears will need to replace him with a good back up and that is not cheap either. We can go young again and I expect that, but having a #2 vet is key.

Loved his run and lowering his shoulder and getting back up all fired up.

Had to rewind this game since I got to theTV at 5:30. Nice throw by Bagent to Thomas for 98 yds, 1st play on O. The Bears have so many offensive weapons that its going to be hard to feed these guys. Rome, Luther, Loveland, Raymond, Walker, Thomas, Kmet, Rousch, is sickening. Now, I know the D needs pieces but wow this offense can be special

Make sure you add that vitamin K while taking D to get optimal absorption 😜

It is hard to avoid, but I get it. Even callers into radio shows have the same echo chamber. I wish they understood how it all works cap wise and projecting the future, but everyone wants everything instant.

One thing I hate about reading everything Bears is how negative the comments are (not here). This is year 2 of a new era. The Bears hired an OC genius to be HC and bring a top 5 offense. There is so much hate towards Poles and DA in twitter or fb comments. To rebuild a team, you'relooking at needing a minimum 3 years to get players in place that fit the schemes. I am good putting the resources around Caleb and the offense first, that is the reason the Bears hired Johnson. The defense will always be second with Johnson as HC, but the Bears will get DA the pieces he needs in time. As AZ54 stated above, they are getting close and as PHX said, they could change more. It will be in between, but the interior dline needs another stud and also a stud do-it-all Edge setter that can get to the QB. Those 2 positions will transform and do more for the defense and should be round 1 and 2 priority, unless a great LT is there.

I see it all. Look at your ages, you are all pretty much old men, so act like it. I don't enjoy reading your jabs back and forth that just circle over and over. Instead of wanting to add your rebuttal, move on. Life is easier, the website is better, and we can read better content.

Can you both please stop. Your like that movie Grumpy Old Men, we already seen that years ago.

That might be better than handing Poles a 3rd rounder that he likes to bobble. Heck, even a team like the Eagles who like to buy decent low cost DTs might be interested. They trade a 4th and then get a 3rd comp pick if he tears it up on a stacked defensive line.

Just in a couple preseason games, we see a 6th round rookie creating more havoc than Dexter has. Not that Dexter is a bad player, just doesn't fit what Allen wants. Maybe rejoin Eberflus in SF or Cunningham in Atlanta to help repay the Bears for losing the comp picks.

I mentioned earlier that the Bears could trade Gervin Dexter. Looks like rumors about the possibility are starting to swirl. A. He doesn't quite fit the Bears DT profile size and ability. B. They signed and drafted guys that do fit and have options. Jarrett, Gallimore, Linch, Street, Van Den Berg, and Dayo/Turner can slide inside. C. His contract is up and they most likely do not renew it due to (A. and B.) So the Bears might be feeling out what the market is. Be nice to get a 3rd from a team looking to improve now.

I would think Benedet would be better inside too. Just thinking team wise were they all fit roster wise. Be an interesting cut down

We might be okay with young Guards, Barnett and Newman.

Special teams and pass pro are what teams need as a #3. Seen a tweet that dont be surprised if the Bears take a #3 RB after camp cuts.

Just think if Eberflus never ran into Kirans dad at the golf course. We probably never draft him. I am happy that era is over but those draft mistakes take a toll and years to recover from.

Anyone disappointed that the Bears did not show for this scrimmage? I felt they were dominated the whole game. Our starters vs their 2s and so on. Hope it is just "practice"

Dayo might be a surprise, he did decent tonight with pressure. Dexter had a pressure and a dumb offsides.he seems to get off the ball the couple plays i watched him. 96, when he is in, I am paying attention.

I had no problem seeing them bring back Braxton and add Wills to up the competition. Benedict is a bull dog, but limited on pass protection due to length. He is better technical and effort. Kiran and Jones seem like the same baby huey. Have the prototype body and athletism but lazy with no kill mentality. Wills is probably closer to Benedict body wise. Then we have Ozzy, who i think will get there and be a solid LT, but doesn't have that agility the others have. So we have 5 guys with a mole. I dont see them in position to draft a gem for a couple years, so we need Ozzy to do all the right things when back.

Next week of practice will be it. They need to get one of these guys capable of playing average. Hard to believe none of the 4 players elevated to take the job.

I doubt we see them, but Dexter, Dayo, Jarrett have been ninjas all preseason. Havent heard much about them which is not good or bad but they need to audition to stay with this team next season.

If this means we get a full season of Kyler I'll forget how he missed all offseason and preseason. It does bother and worry me but until the real season starts, ill pretend he is giving reps to make others better.

My guy, Monangai! This one stinks the most because it was supposed to be a light practice after the game. Grady wants to tackle, let him dress next week and play the whole game.
