Today's question? Will the added speed on the defense put up better results against the run?? I saw a projected top10 rankings of LBers and our 3 starting LBers were all on the list. Health in the DB room, JJ and Gordon have always been good in run supporters. Also we have move speed in the front four.

This year will be the first time in 3 yrs where he is fully healthy going into the season. That plus its a contract year, I see him playing his best ball this year. With the same bodies in the room last year coming off an injury he started the year as the starter. Bad play got him sat but with the OL coach, hard work(reported) , I see him stepping up his game. Where the ceiling lands remains to be seen but as you stated working out with Armstead, it has to have better results. His weakness has not been his movement but strength to handle the bull rush, a full off season of work may be all he needed to change that. Players can get better. Im curious if he plays above average, if the Bear's brass will consider signing him to a contract going forward? I suspect it depends on Ozzy's rehab.

I have lots of questions that I would like your opinion from and will share mine. Today's question: Who will start at LT and how well will he play?

This is why we are going to have a winning record in 2026 season.

I think a lot of fans perspective comes from trusting the bears to get better from year to year. History says that doesnt happen. The core of this team is clearly better and coaching is a huge upgrade. If Caleb takes the next step and I think he will , we are an 11 win team on the floor and a SB trip on the ceiling. My trust is in BJ to maximize the strengths of this team. If we added one upscale DE , the whole fanbase would have much higher expectations but everything else is in place, Another player getting 4 or 5 more sacks isnt going to derail us from our goals. Only major injuries can do that.

1- healthier 2- more speed 3- player upgrade with Bush-Bryant-Theineman-Galimore-Lewis 4- 2nd year of coaches exacting the scheme 5- maturation of Booker-Dexter in last year of contract 6- offense scoring more points and commanding more of the game clock.

Watched a lot of prediction podcasts and the worst was 10-7 and the best was 13-4. The year the Ravens had the same rest schedule that Adam showed, they finished 12-5. That is a good place to set my total. With all the suggested strengths and weaknesses, we have the two most important multipliers constant. BJ and Caleb. Of course injuries could derail that record but we have good depth everywhere on the team except DE. We will survive that weakness.

I like your optimism.

It looks so much worse this far down the road.

The great Squirrel White retired yesterday. He wont be remembered.

AIs cant start a channel, human hands are involved somewhere in the realm. Better yet, now we know what a higher intelligence thinks of the Bears Fans get emotional, AI doesnt.

Never heard of this guy before but has some interesting points.

Couldnt find the stadium information thread so I'll stick this here. This video gave me some information about the stadium I didnt know. The state wants the Bears to pay between 100 mil to 200 mil a year in property taxes.. The highest taxes of any NFL stadium at this time is 9 mil a year in Los Angeles. (Expected) I now understand why the Bears are having a hard time dealing with the State government.

I think Turner was mainly a DE and his last year, they had him put on 15 lbs to play DT. They are going to see what they got and if need be , bring someone in. Last year's Seahawks had two of their top sacker were LBers. One DE and one DT.
