People on X think I am bias about the Bears, I posted this.

I think the added speed will help the overall production of the DL. Street can also play some snaps outside. We have added 4 new players and two existing players are coming back from injury. There is room for better upside over last year. A lot of unknown creates doubt. Like AZ said, players fitting DA's scheme should add to the production.

I hope they are being careful but like you said, its been a problem ever since he got paid.

I like him but as a novice draft guy, there is information we dont always get access too that changes a pick. Poles has had his share of acquiring people that get injured, clearly you dont want to draft one high in the draft , preinjury.

It has been suggested by some pundits, not saying you but this was the subject matter.

That can be a vet taking a big leap. Rookie playing really well. UDFA contributing. One of the stars going off. (example) Caleb throwing for 4800 yards/ 34 TDs. A spot with a lot of questions, I think Austin Booker jumps up and gets 12 sacks.

As much as we have seen Stevenson play well and play bad, saying a rookie is better without seeing his training camp is a little bit of a reach. I hope he balls out but we dont know that yet. I also think Terrell Smith is in play if he stays healthy. The good to come out of this is better depth and hopefully all are worthy of starting. That what make the DB group good. If this group stays healthy , it could be one of our strengths. What I find funny is pundits are saying we have need because we lost DuShon Wright. He was a nobody before he got here. He made big plays but was not good in his cover grade.

The Bears are trying to maximize this team. Stevenson in a contract year is a good scenario. It would be great if the rookie excels but he is still a rookie, and Dillion will be starting so is having two rookies starting in the back of the defense a good idea? If Terrell Smith can stay healthy, he could be in the mix. I think having the competition will be a great motivation . In trying to be on a SB run, I think they keep depth than choose to trade players. Injuries happens every year, so what's wrong with having quality depth. We are a week away from real football, I cant wait.

Completely agree, you are always the voice of reason. You dont want the hero ball to ever go away but being more disciplined in the offense what create more success. I think, not just improvement but a great year is going to show up for Caleb, the offense and this team. I think the 12 and 13 groups will be the mainstay of the offense. Once a team cant stop the run and the underneath passing zone , the deep ball will be consistently open. Injuries can change it, but our only weakness at this point is depth at DE. They will figure it out.

We have several new DTs on the roster, they didnt come with a big fanfare but I think they upgraded the position to fit DAs defense. I think the Bears see what we see in the depth at DE but they addressed it last year that injuries took away. They will add someone, Poles has done a good job at adding in all areas its just not the big name that most people want. With more speed at DT and LB the DE room with have better results. I think the only team that has a full roster is the Rams , everyone else has at least one flaw. The last two SBs winners had a very good pass rush but it wasnt with one great pass rusher on the team.

Caleb has shown a lot of growth from yr one to yr two. I expect this yr to be the same. He does the hard stuff great, as it slows down for him, the throwing % will increase. I expect him to be top and to easily to be over 4500 yds passing. Pundits get clicks if they talk about the Bears and probably more if they downplay Caleb. We get to sit back and enjoy the ride, who cares what they say.

This has a concept of what the stadium might look like. Mongo, would that be a good place for the campus?

The Bears signed a UDFA Omari Kelly to a 3 yr deal with 1 mil guaranteed . Is this a normal deal for the future practice squad? It seems like they are trying to upgrade the end of the WR room.

The Bears signed and UDFA today to a 3 year contract. Miles Murphy, has litteraly played every position on the OL. His first year is the only year with 267,000 guaranteed money. I still find it interesting that they gave him a 3 yr contract. OT?OG?OC?

Joking My opinion is Braxton starts the season and when Ozzy is ready, they will compete. If Braxton isnt playing well, Ozzy will probably be replacing a different LT but will be working back into the starter role. Why Braxton: Healthy for a year now Playing for a contract Working with Armsted has to be a positive. I will also say that Theo and believe it or not Kiran can figure in the mix somewhere.
