Oh ye of little faith. That was the plan. The Bears saw what they wanted last week. My gut tells me they are confident they will surprise some teams. Let's wait to see opening day before we lose the last of our faith.

This..

That sucked. Knee is definitely not supposed to do that.

Oops I forgot to say future. Semantics. You know all four are getting in.

It's market value for the best option you have. It's a solid deal.

Who's not on your list? Four Hall of Famers currently playing. Zero on your list...

Well done sir!

I do not believe Fox is on the hot seat. If he loses the locker room it's a different story.

Agreed

Yes, forgot to mention Floyd. He's going to be a terror.

Trubisky is the real deal. Just watched the replay and am stoked! Shaheen is also a stud. Bullard looks ready to emerge. Very different look so far...

The presser was awesome...

"Well, it was two different guys at center," Fox said. "Again, he is a rookie. First day in pads, our linemen, the centers a little more anxious to get off the ball because there is quite a bit of force getting ready to hit them. So it's not just the quarterback. First day, getting used to the new center and new quarterback."

Multiple centers.

Or "the OL never looked better".

Did some of my own recon today. We're at the Ripken Experience at Pigeon Forge and I ran into a teammate of Adam Shaheen. Happens to be one of his best friends. Couldn't say enough good about. Says he's the smartest guy he knows. Guess he carried a 3.9 GPA. And... A physical freak...

These are the same type of critics that redrafted last years draft. 3 bears rookies from last year were taken in the first 20 picks. It's all horse crap until the games are played.

Even though we have a bunch of mid level guys, stats never support that type of distribution unless you are Brady or Brees.

Didn't he make his bones in the slot?

We hit the jackpot if Glennon has an above average year. Teams will be knocking on our door to give us a great draft pick for a guy that cost 18mil for one season and exceeded expectations. That's a win win. What do we have to lose if he sucks? 18mil, but we get a great draft slot again. Welcome Mr Trubisky...

Whitehair is not moving to LT. Give it up. You will see Long there before that happens. I don't want it to happen, as I think a blue chipper should be drafted.

Of the 5 OL positions guard i's the easiest to change. The reason they didn't do this last year was for that dreaded C word. Massie and Long worked out together all off season. Since they could not move Massie, Long was the only stable force on the entire OL, with the young Grasu on the other side. This the reason we didn't go 0-16. As for this year, all potential starters were on the system last year, so it's less painful to swap all pro guards. Lastly, the muscle memory is also greater the further you move outside, that's not going to be an issue as Long and Sitton both excelled at those postings previously.

Man, you hit 5 points on why I disagreed with Jason! Last point: Long has most prototypical size and skill set on the team to play left tackle. This gets him one step closer if needed.

Disagree for multiple reasons. When I get some time later I'll give my opinion.
