ASHKUM BEAR

Would love to see D Adam's, no chance. DJ Chark, intrigued but it looks like he is not going anywhere. My number 3 is: Will Fuller - brings a deep threat that Fields would fall in love with if he can stay healthy. My Notre Dame bias doesn't help.

Good to see Lovie back I hope we didn't lose out on Marineli to Lovie.

It was from the blog posted earlier. Where they supposedly heard what Poles said in his interview. Which I doubt anyone heard https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/ryan-poles-won-over-bears-with-brutal-honesty-on-current-roster/

I haven't payed attention to the damning measurable, other than we drafted a 1st rd talent at OT. Thanks Mongo lol. Poles said he liked Jenkins, so I feel alright for now. He doesn't like Borum according to the podcast.

Retooling will take a few years. Poles and Flus will have to work with some pieces they have and make the most out of the draft. I traded down a couple times to try and fill holes. Your Picks: Round 2 Pick 12 (CLE): Christian Harris, ILB/OLB, Alabama (B+) - meet the future Urlacher. Harris is a natural in coverage and starts at MLB. Round 3 Pick 7: Jordan Battle, FS/SS, Alabama (A+) versatile Battle takes over at SS and sparks a resurgence in Eddie Jackson. Round 3 Pick 17 (NYG): Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama (A+) - 6-3 190 the do-all Receiver without the big school hype. Round 5 Pick 5: Cade Mays, OG, Tennessee (A+) Big Nasty RG. Round 5 Pick 11 (PHI): Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA (A+) small school CB that is climbing boards. Round 6 Pick 7: Clint Ratkovich, RB, Northern Illinois (A+) RB/FB/HB/TE - FB that can be used other than blocking Round 6 Pick 29 (PHI): Reggie Roberson Jr., WR, SMU (A+) - speed threat to stretch field.

I agree with looking at moving Whitehair back to C or maybe even Daniel's if he can be re-signed. Not sure I agree on the Borum assessment because he looked decent being a rookie. Maybe he was not the best selection if Jenkins/Borum are both only RTs. I still am curious at seeing Daniel's at C since Kreutz once thought he would be all-pro there. It would be easier finding a RG than a C.

He was different but I want to know why the Bears front office took nearly a week to come up with something.

Interesting. By chance did anyone ask him about the leak of Nagy getting fired after the Detroit game? I think there was something to it and George fumbled.

We can gain picks, but it will require trading down from the high 2nd. The only position I would take with that slot is a WR or DT.

The Bears reportedly contacted Harbaugh. My guess is he declined the interview either from past relationship experiences or he wanted power of GM/Coach. I am fine not having Harbaugh. I would like to see a front office built like GB, Indy, Baltimore, Pit and the coach isn't above the team.

I am good with it. Bring in Pep now to be QB coach

It looks like he has been a part of some good teams. Should be solid and he and Poles have a solid relationship, so he has someone close to him to lean on.

Looks like Tampa will be self destruction. Any coaches from TB? Leftwich?

To transform the D, it might not take as much on the run. I seen an Opinion if Hicks leaves they replace with DeForest Buckner and can leave Goldman/Tonga in for run downs and find a 3T that can get pressure on pass downs. At DE, we have two greats. A Mike LB is a big need, so finding one that can play coverage in the flats LB/S mold will be familiar. One thing I recall about the Lovie years is all the Safties they seemed to draft, which we already need a starter or maybe two. On offense, the oline is actually pretty set if they get James Daniel locked up. Talk to Cody and James to see if they move one of them to Center or if that needs to be addressed by drafting or signing a FA. Signing a #1 WR to give Fields a reliable target is a priority, which I would love William's. Big FA needs: 5T to replace Hicks, #1WR to replace ARob. Re-sign Daniel's. Big Draft needs: MLB, C/G, S, Other needs - FA/Draft : CB, Will LB, WR, TE, 3T DT.

Seen Greg Gabriel tweet stating rumors Bears offered anyone a job a false. They have to go through a process of interviewing minorities (Rooney Rule) or can get in trouble.

The Fields do look greener in Chicago lol. Maybe GB and Den made offers but he wants to explore (Den interviewed him for HC). We will find out in a few days. Have to say, he has coached one of the greatest QBs for many years and helped him put up huge stats. If we can get 1/2 of that from Fields it would be good.

I have heard rumors that since Denver hired Nathan Hackett, GBs OC to be their HC that Aaron Rodgers will follow. I would think if Getsy is that good, Hackett or GB would lock him in quick.

Sounds like between Quinn, Caldwell and Eberflus, we may have got the diamond. One thing he will bring is accountability. If you loaf, you lose playing time. He will bring back a little bit of Lovie (hits) Hustle. Intensity. Turnovers. His style D is somewhat similiar too, meaning Roquan will be his prize Will LB. I worry about the offense but trust he has a plan since the Bears hired him. The Bears main focus was landing a coach with the best plan for Fields. Maybe Eberflus's plan was the defense will be so good the QB won't matter ?

HC Quinn 51 and OC Caldwell 66 combo could work. I know the NFL has gone pass happy for offense, but it still takes a great Defense to win it all. I always admired Quinns defenses and his first toy would be SS/LB hybrid. Caldwell is someone who isn't going to make players fit him, but he changes to fit his players. He can be a solid figure for Fields to grow with. Caldwell will build a balanced offense too.

Poles has completed his first interview for HC. Caldwell was still in town and just happened to run into Poles at the Meijer deli wearing a traditioal Ditka sweater vest. Kidding about being in town and the vest, but he did get the interview in.

Since we are going KC connection route, watch them hire Beinemy and he makes Nagy the OC. How would that taste? Actually I heard QB coach Mike Kafka is an up and comer. He could be a OC target. I kind of hope Pole goes his own route. We did the Saints route and then the Chiefs. We need to create our own route. He did give the Ole Lovie quite of hit the road running...or get off the bus.

So if Polian was hired to consult back in November, then the leaked rumors that Nagy was getting fired were true. The Bears were busted, played stupid, and didn't know what to do . Hence the many days it took for them to make a public. statement about Nagys job. Nagy or Pace probably confronted George about this and they cowered and told them their jobs are safe and they will be evaluated at the end of the season. So they held off contacting candidates because if they did the leaks would have blown the roof off and potentially harmed the process.

Rumor is Caldwell is canceling his remaining interviews and it is believed because he thinks he has the job in Chicago or Jax. He was one of the only coaches to bring winning seasons to Detroit.

I have a feeling if Harbaugh was to return to the NFL, he would go to Vegas. I would be shocked if the Bears make an announcement and if they did, it would probably be McGinnis 2.0.

Per Hub, Jim Harbaugh had a brief conversation with the Bears. I think if he were a realistic candidate, their would be more to the leak.
