He has to have asked for a trade, otherwise they would be making him go out and practice to try to correct his problems.

Didnt he play in our game we played them last year? A lousy team had a chance to win that game.

No matter what the reason for this problem is , he aint winning a starting job sitting in the trainers room.

Thank God we're past the Pace Nagy era.

We watch closely his mistakes while he was here but compared to the rest of the league, he was slightly over average. Everyone would have loved having him here last year.

I can do any time, my only limitations will be the 3 other leagues I'm in. They are not see yet . One is usually the weds of the first week. One is usually on labor day.

If there butting heads, neither side probably wants it to be public. I heard its between the Oline coach and Jenkins. Every writer is speculating about it. The problem will be Tven is losing reps to secure him a starter job on the Oline. Jenkins tweeted out that every thing is good, dont believe the rumors you are hearing. So maybe it is something small like a sprained ankle.

I am not sure if after 5 days of practice this is the first time you heard his name mentioned , that it means a lot. We will see.

Not sure we will ever hear the whole story. I suspect he wasnt working hard enough in the early camp and got moved to the second team. Coped an attitude because he wasnt moved to the starters when the real camp started. Someone suggested he may have just said trade me. I think he has talent but butting heads with new coaches probably is a bad idea. I would say a conditional 5th would be the best we could get for someone not proven.

I just paid my fee. I think you should pick a date for drafting, before other leagues do. That way people can plan it. You can always change according to everyone's schedule.

We added a lot of new players in the WR room. Also we Kmet and our RBs that will add to the passing game. If Jones becomes a playmaker and one other WR hits, I think we will have a successful offense. Mooney Kmet Montgomery, Herbert, Ebner. One of EQB-Pringle-Harry-Sharpe-Moore Jones is a wildcard but his ability to separate and speed will translate to the playing field. I think the upside is huge on this group.

At this point, he will bring us a 4th or 5th round pick. Is that worth losing his sack potential ? I think Poles and Flus thinks this roster has upside so why would you throw away a player that upgrades everyone around him. Now if a team has an injury and we can land a package like for Miller did last yr (2nd and a 3rd) that would change the narrative. If backups shine and they want them on the field, they may value a trade but we already have a large cap space for next year. Everyone is ignoring the fact that good vet players can help teach the backups and provide leadership. We have Gipson, Robinson, Al-Q Muhammad, and Snowden that are all young players but still have a lot to prove. It doesnt make sense to trade him for a 4th rounder ?

He is my favorite OL. He cant get a starting job not being on the field. I have seen several people suggest he has covid. So hopefully he will shine once they start hitting and he gets on the field. This is his draft profile, the only thing holding him back is his battle with injuries, his arrow is still pointing up. Overview NFL-ready frame with broad chest and thick lower half. Jenkins not only plays with excellent upper-body power and hand strength, he combines it with a desired level of body control and athleticism to create a consistent, toolsy talent. His instincts and processing serve him well in quickly sifting through moving pieces. He can be an intolerant run blocker, looking to finish and bury his opponent once he gets his block locked and centered. Jenkins has good tackle tape, but his short arms and average range in pass sets could be something to keep an eye on. Whether it is at tackle or guard, Jenkins has the talent to become an early starter and a successful pro. Strengths Split low with wide frame, good power and excellent body control. Instinctive feel for positioning and quick to adjust his blocks when needed. Powerful core allows him to base up and flatten the edge for running backs. Full sustain mode closes door once his hands lock in. Ready and willing to bury his man. Plays under squared pads as a climbing blocker. Athleticism for smooth drift from block to block on second level. Quick to set out on wide-angle rushers and close the distance. Keeps hands back until his target is within range. Strong, sure hands clench up and stall rush attack. Capable hand fighting to recapture control. Solid mirror and redirection

We have added size and speed in the WR group this year. As much as not proven, I still think it ends up surprising people. Every day I kept seeing national writers say how bad we will be , some guy on PFN states we will be lucky to win 3 games. With the upgrade in the secondary, it will make these WRs better, it works both ways. An easier schedule, better coaching, a surprising defense, I find it hard to believe we dont beat the hell out of Vegas's projection of 5.5 games wins.

Someone suggested he may have covid and I don't think the bears can mention that .Which means another day or at the most a week. I think once hitting starts , Jenkins will be more noticed.

What a lame statement. Due for regression by Jordon Silveira.. He ain't getting 18 1/2 again , but 11 would be fine with me. The attention he will draw will help out the other pass rushers. I don't think they trading him.

Quinn being here is a good thing. He helps with the growth of younger players on the roster. Pass rushers can learn from him. Fields can be pushed to play better when he has to face a strong pass rush in practices. Sports journists started a rumor he wanted to be traded. Come to find out he loves it here. Why is that a bad thing. He says he doesnt like moving around all the time. Here he is the man, he doesnt have to be second fiddle to Mack. If he goes some where else, he's the second or third option. We have rookies in the secondary, it only makes things easier for them him being here. Him being here will force more TOs which helps the overall success of the team.

I think being a new regime and the many moving parts they need to get the best 5 players figured out and then keep them together. They have not identified them yet. The cohesion will come once its set. If they just go with a lineup , you will end up with a German Ifed starting and they need to have the best players playing.

They seem to be leaving Mustifer at OG instead of sliding him over . Lots of reports that Justin Fields has regularly displayed his shortened windup and quicker throws. That will be a huge difference in his game.

He will have a rude awaking , he will lose his job. It happens a lot when some players get paid, they relax. That is what I like about Flus, its pay the price, or sit your butt. Never thought of it, but putting him in punt returns does make a statement.

What drives me is the fact that the national media say stupid crap like , ( lucky to win 1 game)( top 5 drafting position) . ( no OL, no WRs but Mooney). Honestly I think we will be be closer to good than terrible. I know there are lots of ?s but I think Poles has added some talent with a purpose. More importantly, I think we have some good coaches. Most importantly, Fields is going to be good.

I may be thinking to far ahead, but is anyone going to have a problem paying Fields 50 mil in 3 yrs? And Mooney 22 mil?

Did anyone predict the 2018 season? Im an optimist and that surprised me.

You do not have to report what injury a player has to be put on the PUP list. If they dont require it , its not breaking any rules. Flus was evasive because he's not injured. Poles is doing Smith a favor to avoid fining him for not practicing, a NFL rule.

The only reason Smith got put on the pup list is so he wouldnt be fined for not practicing with the team while he is negotiating for a contract. The league doesnt require to report why you put a player on the PUP list.
