Thank you Adam! He ran back kickoffs under Jack Pardee just to get on the field. Then whoever was his OC designed some QB sweeps to fit him in the offense.

AZ I am a staunch watcher of ESPN and NFL Network and both have been singing Fields' praises.

Fields brings back memories of Vince Evans who the Bears drafted as a QB and I remember him being the starter in an epic Thanksgiving game against the Cowboys that the Bears won in a defensive battle in Dallas, Evans had a similar skill set to Fields and had a decent career with the Raiders after leaving the Bears. I believe that Willie Gault's first NFL touchdown was from Vince Evans.

I didn't think of this but, this stopped the Packers from getting him.

Clearly a move to support Fields.

Clearly Roquan's head was not in the game. With him now traded it will really be interesting to see who becomes a leader on the defense.

When I saw Sanborn take defensive snaps for the first time this year, I thought Morrow was hurt. Now with the trade of Roquan I think he may see more playing time on defense. I wouldn't be shocked if Montgomery is dealt also. Herbert has been getting the bulk of the second half carries in recent games.

Both the Rams and 49ers have traded a lot of their future draft capital so I'm not sure what they could offer that would be worth anything.

Agreed and I'm already eyeballing Clemson DT Bryan Bresee. This guy is a stud to me.

When you look at the Bears defensive alignment you can't tell who is playing what LB position because all are in the middle of the formation on almost every down but, on Roquan's pick he looked like he was definitely the WLB and made a play on the ball like the ones we have seen do it. Brooks, Marshall and Briggs.

The worst thing for me, who is a supporter of Fields is that I can visibly see that he is misreading coverage. The best pass play of the game was a throw to ESB that was schemed very well, where Fields threw a dime and read the coverage right. Then there was the forced throw to Mooney that was picked with 3 defenders surrounding him. Watching what Jacksonville did in the offseason and how Trevor Lawrence has done so far is what bothers me the most. He and Fields were the top High School prospects at the position at the same time. I want so bad for Fields to break the Ohio State QB stigma because I'm tired of hearing that because there are so many schools that have QBs that crash and burn in the NFL. How many QBs from Kunztown ST have started a game in the NFL since Eric Hipple?

Think about it! Chicago had 2 teams. One of the Patriarchs of the NFL forced them out. No franchise wields more power in regard to direct competion than the Bears. I am amazed at how much crap the mayor of Chicago talks without researching the topic before she speaks. If she can't stop them from moving, how can she stop them from influencing the NFL from block another franchise from coming to town?

You all know that I keep it close to the vest when it comes to predicting what the Bears will do on Game Day. I am so pissed at how guys like Dan Orlovsky, Chris Simms and KeyShawn Johnson have the ability and research to determine who has a solid roster or not and the two who were QBs sucked when they played in the league. Johnson was not a factor as a WR with the Jets and the Buccaneers defense was the driving force when he was able to get a SB ring. He was a number 1 overall pick and he sucked imo.

You are correct and we are seeing a GM take control of the roster that we haven't seen since Jim Finks was the Bears GM. He had a solid plan that he stuck to and Poles looks like he is doing the same.

The main guys fueling most of the Bears' rumors is David Kaplan, Adam Schefter and Mike Garafolo. This Summer all 3 have been very wrong.

Schofield was not a surprise to me after the first preseason game he was awful in it and the staff thought it also. Coley is a surprise to me. I don't remember seeing Edwards in the preseason games.

I think Schoefield gets cut because of how quickly he fell behind Jenkins who never played the position plus, when Patrick returns that frees up Mustipher for a dual role as backup center and guard with Carter and Thomas being Poles draft picks probably being kept on the original 53, that leaves one swing tackle position to fill ( Davenport)? Saturday is going to be a big day for a lot of fringe players.

I'm going to say what I continue to say at my work place. Roquan Smith is not better than: Doug Buffone not HOF Otis Wilson not HOF Wilbur Marshall Not HOF Lance Briggs not HOF He is a talented but weird, thinking player who isn't durable or mentally stable enough for the Bears to guarantee significant money to.

I was impressed with Tristan Ebner, Jaquan Brisker, Jack Sanborn and of course Braxton Jones.

AZ we go back a bit and I believe the national media has Fields in the bottom of their 2nd year QB rankings. Meanwhile Trevor Lawrence a generational talent is getting a pass.

The over analysis of these second year QBs has been over the top this year! Why? Because there isn't a first round rookie to focus on.

I have quietly maintained that if you rate Smith versus 3 non HOF Bears LBs Doug Buffone, Otis Wilson, Wilbur Marshall and Lance Briggs I don't care what PFF says he has not performed better than the 3 players I mentioned. I say Poles stand your ground. Smith has been weird every off season since being drafted.

Whitehair got a vet day off, both Reiff and Schofield are in ramp up mode.

Quinn still being here puts a solid veteran on every level of the defense. I like the thought of him mentoring Gibson, Snowden and Robinson. I also believe that there are three young players to watch on the defense. Tonga as the "Under Tackle" the Tank Johnson role and my X factor is Mario Edwards Jr at 3 Technique.

Eddie Jackson is similar to Eddie Goldman. Got his " Bag" and then smooth sailing. He has been riding that 2018 season for 3 years. The team needs to see that no one is above the team and show your worth on the field and not in the media.
