I think it would be very hard to find the quality at both 4 WRs and 2 TEs on any team ever. Rams is the only one that would be close. Of course they have to go out and show this quality and I think they will.

Poles doubling down on the highest paid position in football. God forbid something happens to Caleb but at least a high end back up at a reasonable price. Poles does make some good decisions and this is one of them.

Where is the information coming from that the Bears and Bengals are discussing a deal? I can't find a source for that information.

We signed Royce Freeman. A 3rd round pick of Denver 2018.

If Gordon and JJ is back, we're good

Bagent gets a 2 year extension

Kyle is dinged up and RJ hasnt practiced for a couple of weeks. Should we trade for Brian Robinson Jr? Or is Wheeler good enough to get us thru the season? I suspect if has to do with when RJ is down.

As much as no one has leaped ahead to grab the starting job, we clearly have more depth than last year. It is already a win Not having Borom on the team anymore. The scheme and Caleb getting the ball out on time, makes it harder to sack him. Everything is headed in the right direction.

I think BJ just wants to see a progression with Caleb. The fact its going to be a 16 day stretch before the first game has to be part of the reason.

BJ has a good record against both Minny and GB. I think he will know how to attack them.

I just think BJ was trying to light a fire under Wright. As far as Ozzy he will become the swing T. How many games did our Ts miss last year? The better depth we have the better our team is . Wright contract is up in 26 so having Ozzy sit for two years wont hurt anything. We could trade him next year and let Ozzy take over or just have good depth as we win.

BJ announced that starters will play this week. Probably a couple of series.

Open WRs now allows Caleb to react to what he sees and he doesn't have to think about it. Keep a rythum to the offense. A lot more open plays in the middle of the field in his line of sight.

I think we do well with the first 15 or so scripted plays but there are a lot of unknowns right now but it seems like BJ has cleaned up most of his fundamentals. I think the scheme will help him a lot as BJ did with Goff in Detroit. Goff was a throw in on the Stafford trade, but BJ got him in a rhythm and you have seen the results. Caleb is more talented that Goff.

Case got 2.25 mil and we would only save 900,000 if we cut him. I think they find a way to keep him around. Since he has an injury, they may have him on the beginning pup list so we keep him in the fold. You never know when You might need his services. Many teams have run out of healthy QBs in a season before.

I havent been able to find anything about our injuries last night on X. Anyone have any updates?

My optimism is shining.

If this offensive is going to be high level, there will be more than enough reps to go around for everyone.

So Braxton started, then Theo took over. Later in the game Kiran played LT. Kiran has been getting badmouthed but the truth is , he has been injured. For what highlights I could see, they all played well. I will refer to Mongo and PHX for a more detailed opinion.

At least no one can complain about a lack of offense anymore. -530 total yards -357 total passing yards -173 total rushing yards -6.5 yards per play -31 1st downs -8/15 3rd down -82 total plays -38 points Yeah....Ben Johnson is legit.

Absolutely, doing what he was suppose to do. 6-10 detracts from how well he actually did. He had two throw away's, and Rome dropped one. The scheme will get players open and a better OL keeps Caleb on time and in rhythm. That works against better talented players also.

Like Adam mentioned, if the QB is on time and out in under 2.4 seconds, the pass rush will not get there in time. The key will be the IOL, if they keep the pocket clean , Caleb will excel. Its just 1-2-3, hit the open receiver or throw it away. I can see less than 40 sacks this year if the OL holds up. I dont know who this is (John Middlekrauff) but he's not a Bear pundit , he breaks it down real simple.\

He explains it so well
