You are so right about that, all the good things we have going for us and so much negative talk toward any presumed weakness. LT? DE? I keep seeing trade rumors Josh Sweat, saw people still talking about Crosby. Our cap is not going to allow us to get any big asset (Vea). That is why we have a Davenport here instead of a bigger name. This is basically the team we have in 2026. It has questions, but I totally trust BJ, Caleb and Poles to have added enough to keep us winning. A lot of people dont figure in the injured players coming back,, the developmental players improving. A surprise like VDB being good right away. Lynch, Gallimore, Street all making positive contributions. Booker reaching 10 sacks changes the 2027 year. Kromah could add to the sack total. My only two questions are ; is Kyle Gordon going to be available and Can Woods play well enough as the SS.

Every year creates a different set of circumstances. For now, we have players in place but with question marks. Some younger players may grow into roles we have questions at. The draft is going to be our main supply for help, add in cheap FA pickups going forward. If we have a glaring need , Poles will target that but with 20 mil in cap space right now (over the cap 2027) , some players he will let go. For sure Jarret is gone even if he has a big year. (age) If Dayo has a good year , will they still dumb him? Im not sure its an automatic yes. Next years needs has yet to be determined.

53 man roster predictions
Definitely Kaden Davis gets on the roster. Only IF they did trade Dexter, Street is the next one up that can flex between DT and DE. It seems like Turner will be on the initial pup list that lasts 4 weeks. (I think) Im interested in what they do with Hyppolite. He is starting to show some game. You cant teach his speed for a LB . 4.39 BUSH-JACKSON-EDWARDS-SANBORN-ELLIOTT-?

Chad is keeping Pickens and lose his 4th. Mike is keeping Rashee Rice and lose his 7th. Mike gave me his money. So I will pay both his and mine today and Chad paid already.

Bears vs. Bengals
I dont like them either. I would prefer dark pants with the orange highlights.

Other than Bryant the other injuries seem to be not long term. As far as trading Dexter, rumors fly all the time but with Poles seeking a trade chances are he gets it done. Now I heard another rumor Josh Sweat wants a trade. Im not sure the Bears are still trying to upgrade the DE position. We signed Davenport, which could not add anything but was a cheap contract so why not check it out. We have Sweat-Booker-Dayo-Davenport. Add the emergence of Kromah and Lynch logging reps at DE. Now if an injury pops up (maybe Booker) then that could change. If we sign anyone else it wont be a big money contract. IMO. We signed another LB Antonio Greer, with the injury to Sewell. In 4 days they start making cuts, Greer is only here for the last game? Seemed odd to me.

Its been 6 months since I butted heads with anyone. Of course you know that because you pay attention.

Its been good for a long time. PHX had the problem with Mongo and I just tried to offer advice which of course went off the rails. I'll go back not saying anything stupid that lights fires. You need that commitment from everyone to make this work. Having different opinions is not a hostile act, everyone needs to understand the difference. Just review how this situation faired up and you will have a better understanding why this happens.

Back to making stupid comments. Stick to football. If it was just me you have problems with, I get that because you dont like me , but you have butt heads with several other people that does not involve me. At some point you need to self evaluate or just continue to butt heads with several people.

My normal thought process is keep good players if we are actually going to make a SB run. I watch Greg Gabriel regularly and he mentioned after we picked up several DTs, that Dexter doesnt really fit DAs defense and could be traded. I rejected the thought but, for this to function how DA wants to play his D, it makes sense. Dont know if they do, but he doesnt have a high ceiling, so why not.

Bears vs. Bengals
Even when Ozzy returns he has a long way to go to be above average, but at least has a high ceiling.

TBH, Im not sure Davenport makes the team if Kromah and lynch play well. Lynch and swing out and in . I read where he was liked where ever he played, he has a constant motor.
