I was thinking the same. I really hope he lasts a couple more years here. He is re-inventing the wheel with his approach and it could prove to be the beginning of something great. He and Emery are locked onto the same page with their transparency and I love it.
I wouldn't argue with any pre-season ranking between 7 and 12. But 7 is as high as I would go considering the unknown on D. I truly believe the offense is going to be solid.
If a player decides to hold out a entire season, what is his status the following season? Does he still owe the team work for the previous year? Does it matter how many years of service? Also does it matter if it's the final year of a contract? Gurus needed!:
I'm going Brock Vereen, Kyle Fuller and Will Sutton respectively. I believe all 3 will get a start at one point. Fuller will start at nickle, but Vereen may start day one.
I was against Martz from beginning. His scheme has been figured out, same as the 46 defense. Absolutely agree with the benefit of continuity. Been preaching that for years...
You are correct in saying angles can be taught. It ends with that though. Angles don't mean a thing unless you have the instincts to use them "in time". Bostic was horrific last year(instinctively and technically). If he makes it to average this year, it will be a huge victory for this team.
Was just thinking about how we have great optimism each year for our team. Over the last decade, has any team had better propaganda than what comes out of Halas Hall? Some years I'm full on kool aid, others I call BS. This year, I'm excited!
