ASHKUM BEAR

I am telling myself they are basically a new team. They need to learn to play together.

How about Stroman and even Terrell Smith CB. Playing well for reserves

Fumble!!! Bears ball. Turnovers starting to go in our favor

Welcome back Tevin Jenkins! With Davis and Jenkins, we can finally see how this oline was envisioned. Oh, Whitehair back to Center but has to snap with the left hand.

Time to trade him while he has value ?

Seen this today too. If this is the case, what is plan B

If true, I hope the D has some Butkus inspiration tonight

I heard they offered Kreutz $20 an hour? he said at least they have increased the pay from his last offer.

Dexter getting about 36% snaps and Pickens 25% per game. Easing the big guys in, I expect there playing time to increase as the season progresses. They might get more push? Compared to Billings 53% and Jones 66%

Fields basically let the cat out of the bag on Claypool. It was definately his interview when he was asked by the media if he thought coaching was using him wrong. Fields said Claypool would bite his tongue next time and he hopes he get back with the team soon. Claypool showed some playmaking in the preseason before he got hurt. Something happened that he soured, but maybe going to a contender will revive him. He has the tools physically but his ego is ruining opportunity.

Mooney comes down to Scott's development and maybe Velus too.

Being so short handed, they probably needed the roster spot. We will be getting an update soon I would expect

Those two would make better OLB if they change schemes after the season.

The Matt LeFleur tree branch hasn't looked to good. Nathaniel Hackett was a bust in Denver and Getsy has not done anything to say different. Hiring offensive minds that came into position with all-time great QBs in place should now be red flag for GMs.

Let's say the Bears do lose out and Carolina does too and they get the honors to draft Caleb and another blue chip (WR, DE, OLT, DT or CB). Do they sign Fields 5th year to control him, see if he grows and possibly increase his value? Or would you take a 3rd or 4th. Competition can make or break a player and Fields really hasn't had much to compete with.

Heard a report that Brisker holds one arm different and it looks like he has a brace to support a shoulder. That could be his issue for being playing soft. If the Bears make a scheme change, how much time does that add for the D to gel. Seems like an ugly cycle. But new blood at QB could be all it takes for the fans to buy in.

According to our favorite, PFF, Sam Mustispher is the 2nd best pass blocking Center.

This city has been lame way too long. The owners all suck, maybe the Blackhawks redeem us in a couple years. Cubs are there too, but being a Sox fan I have reserved feelings for them. I want the Bears to be legit but they just cannot ?

Confidence is building. Keep it up.

I was happy with Montgomery, if Roschon is a notch better then it is a plus to ride for 3 more years.

It was a blessing he was overshadowed by Bijan and Poles had his sights on him. The Bears need to control the ball and wear down defenses if they want to win. Take the pressure off of Fields and maybe he can play better and get some completions going on play action.

I don't see the Bears making a change in season but thinking outside the box.

I picked him up in FF and going with my initial prediction he takes the helm game 4. He might not be the starter but I think he gets put there soon. Once Jenkins and Davis are back, the oline will be better and the Bears can be more a power running team like was planned.

Has a team stole a coach in season? Like hiring Byron Leftwich?

That is what Mahomes became. But was it Reid, his staff, and the roster that gave Mahomes the support to become a great. Fields has not had anything close. All I am saying is having the right system and support help elevate and build confidence or the opposite can crush a player and we see that every QB that bring in. The Bears either go with defensive minded coaches or they try a new up and comer offensive guy. With saying this and seeing what Mahomes has become, I do not think Fields could have became all that but I think he would be better than he is now.
