Guy has some wheels and a great first move. Seems little, but I'm an old school guy (or I'm just old) but I liked seeing him hand the ball to the ref, over and over. Also looked like on some of those plays he had teammates busting their ass to block downfield for him, looked like they had been coached up pretty good.

I liked him when we signed him but that is what happens when you show up to camp out of shape and not knowing the playbook. It's the biggest job interview he'll likely ever have and he failed to prepare. More than anything it calls into question his love of the game. Then even though he was on the practice squad we had to go outside to find other FAs to get players on field. We've kept him around but that feels like just part of throwing as many darts as possible at fixing the TE position. Maybe he's focused this offseason but it's hard to be optimistic.
Not that I'm questioning the validity of what you're saying, just curious where you got the information that he showed up to camp out of shape and not knowing the playbook?
Look at the subject and timing of these articles on Raymond. He gets hurt and released, then brought back to the PS a month later and then given a future contract 2 months after that? Why would the Bears do that if he were lazy and lost his love for the game? That dog don't hunt.

flyfishing - dont equivocate me with this troll.
Also, youre not promoting anything positive here calling us ladies are you?
Why dont you take a moment and try to find out who is who here before you put on your hall monitor sash over that dress?Just having some fun, NYC. You two can argue all damn day if you want, I really don't care. I'm on here to try to escape the daily bullshit we're all going through right now. I'm not a "hall monitor" for anyone, it was meant as a joke. That's all I'm going to say about that.
GO BEARS!

Come on ladies, you're both pretty 😁
Let's hug this shit out and get on to talking about the Bears.
-
I'm pretty excited to see how it works. I think this defense is great already, if they get the right safety (maybe Bush is it, I don't know) they could be insanely good. Hoping for a healthy year, could be special.
Watching that video got me really stoked for the season. I need some football!

I think they move to a more traditional 4-3 in those situations. Mack/RRH DE, Goldman/Hicks DT. Skrine NB, Trevathan ILB, Smith OLB. Jackson/HHCD S Prince/Fuller CB.
Ok, got it, that makes sense. So really what they are doing is taking out one if the down lineman and playing Mack and Quinn as "defensive ends".
-
A question for those more learned in defense schemes. If the Bears do what he suggests and play more nickel, who comes off the field? Normally, you're taking out a linebacker. In this case that would be one of the inside backers, Trevathan and Smith. Which would leave you with only one inside. Is that Trevathan or Smith? I would assume with Smith's speed that's who you'd keep on, but Trevathan has a ton of experience and leadership. What's it look like?
-
I like that he's carried the ball almost 600 times in college and doesn't have a single fumble.
-
I can't stand Stephen Ass Smith, but I'd watch that everyday.

This was the exact question I was going to ask. Especially about Glennon. I’m becoming more convinced that neither Pace or Nagy know what a good starting QB looks like.
Along the lines of ‘Flyfishing’ above and based on Trubiskys and Foles’ similarities; we know how “well” Trubiksy plays with the defense but not Foles. Has he ever had a comparable level defense?
He's been on teams with a top 10 total defense every year of his career, except his rookie season.

What is this though? Is he the starter? Is he here to help Trubisky learn to read defenses as a high school level? Like what's the plan here? Same for TE. It's a rotation of overpaid, crappy players. Do you want Burton in there with a phantom injury? Graham who can't block or run anymore? How about Shaheen who is so unathletic he gets hurt stretching? This is the 2020 plan?
Foles and Trubisky battling it out at QB, Graham and Burton at TE? Of all the outcomes, this is probably the worst. I would've rather done nothing, kept the 4th rounder and the cap space instead of bringing on this dead weight.
My prediction right now is 5-11. The biggest problems on the team have not been addressed and we are out of cap space. We still need a TE, a QB, a WR3, a CB, a SS, and depth at ILB and DL. We could also use upgrades at OT. Quinn, Graham, and Foles have consumed the remaining cap. Outside of a few C-list FA's on $1M one-year deals, that's all we have left, and now only 2x 2nd rounders to fill 5-6 holes. This is unbelievable.
Honestly, how much better is Foles and Graham than Glennon and Sims.
I'm feeling the exact same way. This is so disappointing. Like every year, I'll hope for the best, bring my expectations down and try not to drink too heavily on a Sunday afternoons 😁

Oh crap, outside of Foles' ridiculous 2013 season where he threw 27 TDs and 2 INTs, he has 44 TDs to 33 INTs. Trubisky has 48-29. This is a joke right. This guy is going to do nothing for us.
And 7 of those 27 came against the 29th ranked Raiders defense when he got red hot 1 game. Better hope something big changes on the line or we're starting over in 2021. I'm glad the defense got potentially better.
-
Trubisky and Foles are basically the same quarterback. We got nothing out of this, except what should be a pretty good battle for who is the best average quarterback.
Look at their stats, what did we gain?
-
I get that we can't afford everybody, but it is concerning that we've lost or top two back-up ILBs from last year. Especially considering we resigned the oft injured Mr. Trevathan, who has missed on average 4.5 games a year. His starting ILB partner missed 3 games last year too.
-
I sure hope so, I really liked the pick and his running style and it is admittedly hard to judge last year's performance. Some good moments and flashes, but not enough to know. Offense has some work to do
-
Montgomery averaged less than 4 yards a carry, we all agree the line was not good, but I don't know if Montgomery is any good either. I'm not sure we even have a starting RB on the team yet. Defense is great, but our offense was non-existent at times and when it was there it wasn't great. I don't think rookie OL is going to get you what you need. Makes me nervous going into next year with many of the same peices on offense.

White - gone.
Floyd - gone.
Trubisky - here but may no be the starter anymore
Smith - Possible all pro
Only Smith has worked out. Trubisky is a huge ? right now.
Peace
Yes, I was being facetious, my friend. Carry on.

Great signing. I think both signing show us going for it over the next two years. Trade the #1 pick for next year for Foles and be done with it. Pace is not good with #1 picks anyway.
Peace
What are you talking about 50% of the 1st are still on the team 😉

Is he related to the Anae guys that played at BYU in the ‘80s? You’re right he does look good in highlight film.
"Anae’s father, Brad, played defensive end for the Cougars as a two-time All-American from 1979-81. His uncles, Robert and Matt, also played for the Cougars, and Robert Anae coached at BYU two separate times under former head coach Bronco Mendenhall from 2005-10 and again from 2013-15.
Even Anae’s grandfather, Famika, played for the Cougars."

OK if Leno is a coach on the field, why does he (attempt to) block the wrong guy so often?
He's coaching the rest of the fellas on what NOT to do. Brilliant!

It will be curious to see the type of contract he gets. That will determine how the team views him (as a starter = goodbye Prince, or as a backup).
Apparently he was on the Vikings Practice Squad before going to the CFL.
Overall, I like the move, just as long as we didn't overpay.
I heard Pace gave the CFL team our next 3 first round choices. 😉😁
-
As long as he keeps averaging 4.7 yards a carry, I don't care how many long runs he has.
-
To me he looks slower and more unsure this year. He also doesn't seem to have the drive to break tackles that he did previous years. No stats, just the eyeball test. He's not the same runner. Whether that's him, the line, the scheme, teams keying on him more - I don't know, but he doesn't look like the same player at all.

It looks like Peterman will start - http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25128726/buffalo-bills-qb-nathan-peterman-expected-start-derek-anderson-recovering-concussion

This is a false statement. The WHO clarified their remarks after folks ran with the "asymptomatic can't spread" narrative. Here is a link for WebMD. You can find the same information on the WHO website. Do they spread it as fast as people with symptoms? It doesn't appear so, but there are so many unknowns, I think it's very dangerous to make definitive statements. It's also important to clarify between asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic.
