I dont go to training camps anymore but several people keep mentioning Kaden Davis. Can he upgrade Scotty Miller or Walker with him at WR?

They clearly are rotating all of the LT group to get a look at all of them. Someone here already mentioned that, a coach stated that in an interview. They are doing the same thing they did last year. A second round pick sounds like they did address the LT position and was looking good until his injury. They only have so many 1st round picks Caleb, Rome, Wright, Loveland and Thieneman. Looking back, they have added enough talent to question Rome but that's hindsight. The DL has been a position of neglect but they have been putting offense first in trying to build around Caleb. We won 12 games last year with the roster building that Ryan has done. He has made many mistakes but he hired BJ and drafted Caleb and has a direction with this team of which I believe is headed for a SB run, next year or if fortunate, this year. Every team has some questions except, IMO, the Rams. I do see the depth getting better going forward. We had been a top 5 rated OL last year by a couple of different websites. Kiran, Braxton, Willis and (RT?) Theo gives us enough talent to get the job done with Ozzy still in the future. I trust the brass running the team enough to fix the spots that look weak to be okay.

Other than that one Lions game , the last few years all the interdivision games were close, could have went either way. Our offense this year will put pressure on the rest of the league, its been tuned up, and given jet fuel.

Dont forget we signed an UDFA Skylar Thomas that can play safety and NB. He is not fast but has short area quickness, probably can add depth to NB. We signed him to a 3 yr contract, not all UDFAs got those. 6'1" 210.

Adam Schefter said it will be two months, hyperextension knee, bone bruise and bone fracture. probably the pup for the first 6 weeks and then hopefully he's back. Who is his backup? Cam Lewis or Elijah Hicks?

I dont understand how with only one good game played last year they have elevated Golden to elite status.

I just heard Coby Bryant went down with a knee injury. Hopefully its not long term.

True, it is something personal or the team who have announced some type of injury. Considering how bought in Kyle is in the team, it cant be anything small.

When people are looking at how bad or good the D will be, they also have to consider, as you have stated, how good the offense will be . More points puts teams behind and will have to abandon the run quicker and more rest for the D when a time consuming offense.

Either will work for me, I have one on Tuesday night at 7

Thats a good video to get fired up to watch the Bears this year. This video shows Caleb taking control of the offense.

With all the mistakes Poles has made building this roster, the offense has tremendous depth. WR-QB-TE-OL, the RB position may be the only one with a ? on O if a starter gets hurt. The D has questions but last year was a train wreck with injuries. We may have enough bodies to complement the O which has been the focus since Caleb got here.

This success is what happens when you go into year 2 of an offensive scheme. Barring injuries we have one of the best group of offensive weapons in the league. Players like Raymond and Thomas added to Rome and Burden are going to explode in this offense. Add our TE group and a scheme genius to the mix and bigtime offense.

The record for points per game in the 17 game era was the Lions at 33.4 a game in 2024 when BJ was there. I think BJ will top that this year 35 to 36 a game. Lots of mouths to feed and Caleb is the guy to feed everyone.

Vea is better than anyone we have but 3 things stand out for me. DA is moving to a quicker DL, Vea does 5.1 which is great for a man that size but adding a slow DT that is going to cost 25+mil a year doesnt seem to be the direction we are going in. He is also 31 years old. Not sure that is idea for a younger team. As AZ said, we tried adding a vet for good money in Jarrett and that wasnt a success. None of this seems like a good idea for me. At 31 , you may get him for a 3rd round (maybe) but if he is good as everyone thinks, 2nd is more likely.;
