  1. They saw enough of him to put him ahead of a guy who’s been out starting LT now for 3(?) years. And with regards to untapped potential still on the team, there’s Trapilo waiting in the wings.
  2. Interesting from that group how many are 1st Overall picks (5), how many have won the Heisman (4) and how many have won a SB (manning twice). I was thinking the other day how much Williams reminds me of Newton when he was playing with Carolina.
  3. Intriguing take. Must be a guy looking for clicks. From my sister the Denver fan, if anyone they don’t like (she especially) it’s Peyton. Yet their team is 8-2 despite them both. And they were in the playoffs last year. Interesting comparisons; Nix currently is showing 60.6% completion rate (down from 66.3% last year) and 46.3% outside the pocket (also down from the previous year). Where Caleb is currently running 62% in overall completions and also in the 42% range while outside the pocket but seen as rising. *Note Caleb’s stats were from before last Sunday. One big difference for Caleb (ok actually two) is the sack rate from year one to two and Johnson.
  4. This, I feel, was more in line how he played in Buffalo. Looks like he averaged 60 tackles a year (a few times in the 70s and his rookie year 80). But yeah I’d think it might be the reassignment position.
  5. Yeah...same. So was Nagy around that same time. And is again...if you can believe that. Something tells me that Nagy will become the next Josh McDaniels. Decent OC(?) who never made it as an HC.
  6. Ah yes, the Lovie Smith era. And the last time in a Super Bowl. Sigh... LOL. Surprised that Fangio's defense with the 2018 squad didn't rate.
  7. In looking at CJ's history he's listed as a Safety but says he played "outside corner" at some point. It mentions New Orleans as one of those places (probably for Allen) and maybe that's why he isn't (or won't) play outside corner for the Bears. LOL... I agree with whomever said, "don't fix it if it ain't broke" and since he's on a roll maybe see how Gordon does on the outside. Or do as you suggest and sign Samuel. Good to see that Allen is getting creative and putting someone like Brisker in the middle of the field to "roam" more. That's a dangerous proposition for opposing players.
  8. Gotta think this is more about 'body of work' not just what he's (Baker) doing this year. If you consider how he stumbled out of the blocks (himself a 1st round overall pick) and since playing for the Bucs (some years later) he's gotten them to the playoffs the first two years he's been there and gotten a Pro Bowl nod for the first time, that weighs heavily I would think.
  9. Was watching a recap on You Tube and a few questions came up. 1). Moore injured his shoulder in yesterday’s game . This after injuring his groin a few games back and another before that? Should it be time to let him rest maybe a game or two (similar to what they did with Swift)? Let Burden come in as #3 and once Moore is nearer 100, kick Zaccheus to #4 or lower. 2). With the Bears defensive backfield struggling and once Gordon returns, would it be good to have him play NB and push CJ to one of the corner spots (maybe where Wright is)? The podcast suggested Gordon go to corner but I don’t know that he’s got any experience there. Pretty sure Gardner has. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  10. Burns vs Wright. 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ2aovGEW5Q/?igsh=YTN6czZvOG54OXZr
  11. With a high per capita cholesterol count that ain’t good! 😆
  12. Great entertaining come from behind win. Aside from the Dallas game the Bears haven’t been dominant ALL GAME so far. Need a lot to clean up late in the season with some solid teams ahead on the calendar. Rest up guys, way to play all 60 minutes. Now get back to work and make us proud.
  13. That catch by Loveland was simply incredible. Had to reach back to snag it. Finally a complete offense drive. Why wait so long?
  14. My guess it was the view the official saw. They said in the game it was one of the DB refs calling it . Here’s what was show on the replay.
  15. Think it was the hands on the shoulders of the lineman and as they twisted the lineman turned with it.
  16. Uhm…Williams sees Odunze stalled out short of the EZ and throws it anyhow? 😕
  17. Banks the best player this drive. 2x penalties resulting in at least 20+ yards. Lol.
  18. Yes and earlier in the season when they were making all those TOs the offense did little with it. Hopeful that’ll change this drive.
  19. Not a fan of Wright (the defender) but he’s come up with a fair share of TOs so far. Well if you ignore the dropped INT earlier in the game. Edit:. Oops my bad. The “chirper” with the TO last drive. 🤷🏻‍♂️
