ASHKUM BEAR

It could be, as AZ said the starters got more reps in the joint practice too. So the water hose was inserted. I feel the Bears have been notorious for not playing starters in preseason and it has always showed. Im not giving BJ any benefit until I see this team look the part. On paper, he is the mad scientist that has history of creating monsters. Lets start to see if that creativity followed him here

New systems needs time and sitting most starters last week took that time away. I dont know where BJs thoughts are decisions came from but he's putting that to rest this weekend. Caleb needs to show he can run this offense at its most basic form. If he struggles, the weight will only get heavier and if he plays the position well, the hype will build. He was a B to C imo last year. I want him to get to A.

The interview was on 670 the score. Said sometimes guys need to feel the pressure to realize their potential. Its just a wakeup call to get him to be his best.

Wright is being challenged. He has been getting lazy when fatigued and it shows in his play according to Roshour.

2 CBs and 2 S's is what I saw. UDFA S Major Burns designated to IR and CB Shaun Wade to IR. A WR was cut too. I think it is to replace the two lost to injury and too look at more guys if T Johnson isn't looking as good as thought.

He was pretty good, but didnt fit Poles requirements to keep. I think only because the Bears were in win now mode, they moved James Daniel to G and Cody Whitehair to C, such a dumb Bears move. If only they let them two develop at their more natural positions,we could have had a long term center and maybe a different Whitehair who didnt flip positions.

Booker supposedly was nonchalant all TC but showed up Sunday. If he can build on this and bring it week after week, we may have that pass rusher that is not on paper. Just imagine if he becomes that, then I see Chicago going DT or even RB early 2026 draft.

Hell with that, you need self propelled. Still gonna work a montez sweat up.

Good thing they draft LT Joe Alt last year.

Due to personal reasons has not made TC. No further details are available per grok. He did make rookie camp, so he was in house for a timem I don't think he would miss an opportunity of his lifetime for selfish reasons. Family would be a valid reason to miss. I would not miss the last days/weeks of my family member (parent, child, spouse) if I was going to be hours away. I dont know what this kid is going through, but it is enough he cannot be there and when he returns, ill root for him to grow.

It all comes down to protecting the QB. Who can do it best deserves the job. Having depth that can is even better and seeing whole lines get decimated through a season means the position needs to be at least 8-9 deep.

Right, plus they can watch Braxton game one play against Miami's best. Trapilo has and can use the time. As all rookies can.

BJ said before camp started no one is a starter, you have to earn it. Starters from last year are equal as everyone in his eyes. Even this week BJ said it wasnt official.

The Bears left out Tysheem Johnson FS Oregon. He should be a stud, makes men wonder if they are trying to hide him and stash him on ps to start.

Jerry Jones will not let him go with 2 franchise tags in his pocket unless he receives a Herschel Walker type deal. Parsons can sit out all he wants but Dallas holds all the power and Parsons will not throw away that kind of fortune. Every unhappy DE/Edge is linked to the Bears, Poles will explore it, but doesnt need to. He can address that next season like he has done with DBs, WRs, and Oline.

FB is full of crap. Thank you for verifying. The taking less had me intrigued and I was excited to share.

He said he'd join for less....

I just dont see the Bears dropping all the picks and then the cash. If the Bears show they are contenders this season and someone like Parsons is available next year that will put the Bears in that drivers seat, I'd be completely on board. Also, if it is only one 1st, id be fine. But it will more.

Ha, I just did. I guess we see his fit different but I don't watch Dallas close.

Taking a player like Parsons means changing the scheme from a 4-3 to 3-4. Parsons is great player that would be awesome to have, but then you have the rest of the D that may not fit. Would Parsons fit a 4-3 and be as effective? He would be small at 6-3 245. But Austin Booker was 6'6 245, so maybe. Sweat is 6'6 260, dayo is 6'5 280, Sherman Turner 6-3 290. He would probably become the weak spot for teams to attack with the run. Parsons is a special player but the cap cost, draft cost, and the change of scheme seems too much to risk. If we have to add the pass rush now, offer the deal for a Myles Garrett type.

This is it and I believe we have our DEs for now. (Sweat,Dayo, and Booker,Turner) When they go to a Nascar package, I wouldn't be shocked to see Edmunds step up and play that situational pass rusher to add juice.

Pass, what did Adewale, Peppers, or Mack bring us? No trophies. Trophies come from QBs and I would hold on to all of our assets until we know if Caleb can get us there or not. Caleb has a dream team around him, so we should find out sooner than later. If he doesn’t produce this year, I might consider drafting one to sit behind him for competition or replacement. If Caleb comes out and produces as a top 10-12 QB and Parsons is still a holdout, I might consider. I just dont want to see the Bears go back to trading picks for that final piece like they have for decades.

I think the best part is this could burn GB, who went WR Matthew Golden. Who really only had 40 speed going for him. He might work with Love who likes to toss the ball to locations and hope his guy gets there. Burden will have more value in time playing slot, x, and maybe some RB.

It sounds like Luther Burden is emerging as a playmaker. Two days in a row being the camp highlight. The Bears going to have so many options.

I think Kiran should be swing OT and getting him reps on both sides all tc may show their thinking. Jones/Trapilo battle LT and hope are for a team needing a LT pops in this process and offers good compensation.
