ASHKUM BEAR

Bears DBs and TJ Edward's played well. This was a must win game and the Bears pulled it off.

Poles nailed that evaluation. Jenkins is one of the best guards in the league. He should get league recognition if he can finish this season.

Carolina probably said noooo, lol

And to think Mustispher is playing well in Baltimore. Whitehair has a bad right hand, hurt in preseason, I think he tried snapping with his left and it didn't go so well. Maybe that is why they have him playing LG too.

Bagent seems to know how to understand the position better, but Fields is more superior. Hope Fields is ready to go and he understands tempo better. Bagent spent more time understanding and preparing than Fields in my eyes, so I hope he woke up with his time off. I would love for the Bears to use their draft capital to use their draft capital to continue make bank for the future while adding more top 100 talent

Every says he needs stats like ints, tackles etc, but if they don't throw his way because he is a blanket, what is he to do? He shuts down his side of the field. Oct 24, 2023Bears CB Jaylon Johnson now has the highest coverage grade at the position thru Week 7 (min. 100 snaps) with an 88.1 mark - 43.5% completion rate allowed is 4th - 0.66 yards per coverage snap is t-8th

I think that is one reason why JJ wants what he does. He knows 2 years from signing and the defense adding talent, he will eventually be under paid at 13-15 a year. It's a tough balanc for a gm to figure all the costs now and in the future

I bet he is fuming right now. He is a good player and I would hate to lose him. His play should elevate with the stronger pass rush.

I would add another DT too. We are going bigger up front and Dexter and Pickens can move well too. I hope to see Travis Bell do well in Atlanta, he was the Bagent for a Dline. The Bears need to find a replacement for Jones for the rotation. Maybe walker is the guy but I would like another draftee there.

Little more than Rashan Gary, little less than Garrett per year average? The Bosa's and Watt are higher. Is he a top 5 DE?

He did pretty good in Lovies D, which Flus runs a version. All I'm saying is if the Bears stay with the program they have he can be an option. Maybe Marinelli comes back from retirement but doubtful. Changing the HC might mean another overhaul and I am not sure I can take these every few years. Heck, see if Lovie would take the DC position.

Another rumor floating is that the Commanders want to trade for Belichick. I only say Rivera as a DC, as a HC he had a couple of great seasons at Car, but let him run the D like he did before he departed the Bears.

Dipping in. Bears trade the #2 to add ammo while putting faith in Fields and Bagent. The a add future 1st along with 2 2nds and 3rd. They land the top WR and a franchise LT round 1, round 2 a 3T and FS. Rd 3 a DE prospect. 4th round Stout Center and SS, round 5 a move TE.

I like Newton from illinois, but that is if they don't change defensive schemes. I would like to see them keep consistency and stick with Flus, but he needs a great DC to get them elevated. Maybe bring back Ron Riveria if he is let go.

I'd have to study how much he does shut down other teams WRs. I know we use INTs as a gage, but if he is one of the best at shut downs, he does need credit. Not 20 but maybe that 16-17. Seems the Bears get a little scared to re sign their own, but Poles did say they were getting close and the JJ went awol not countering and demanding a trade.

This offseason will be a show for sure. I want MHJ paired with Moore. I also want a QB that can produce but I am not sure if any QB can with the coaching. Is there a such thing as a pocket passer anymore that will fit what Flus and Getsy want.

Happy to see him here for 2 more years. With Sweat on the edge, the Bears should start seeing more improvement from the front 4. Safety now can be a priority with the top 3 pick.

Center is as key, look no further than kc or phi. The Bears have had issues with their centers hurting their snap hand. Whitehair, Patrick, and Kramer all injured that hand. What happened to Feeney? I thought he would have been a piece by now. I have to say Jenkins needs to be resigned but many would argue his health. He is nearly the best for having to play anywhere asked. Last, B Jones has the rest of the season to show Poles he doesn't need to draft LT, I still would with a top 5 pick. We seen what Fields can do with a great line (Was).

I have a couple of under the radar Centers that I think can be good players. I think the Bears still have to move down once to recoup a 2nd. Too many high end needs with safety and maybe another CB, unless Smith develops more. Graham Barton Duke 6-5, 315 High football IQ Bryce Foster Texas AM. 6-5 330 More power and good IQ.

I like him but hope he doesn't start off like Kyle Pitts.

In other news...

49ers are working the Bears in last minutes hopes for landing Jaylon. I would love to see JJ go to a contender and showcase himself.

Sweat was the 26th pick in the 2019 draft I hate losing a high 2nd. That tells me Poles will be moving down with one of the 1sts.

I agree and will add that if we don't end up with the number 1 or 2 pick in the draft, the teams that are slotted there will most likely want a QB.

Couple of 4 and 1's and not taking the 3 have hurt the record too.
