With Zah only started practicing this week, you think they would trust him by the first game?

I'm curious whose returning kicks. I sure don't think it's Maurice Alexander. I thought Dueveny was the guy?

I'm not for how long but I did see Newman at RG and think Bates had some snaps there. Kiran was in at LT late in the game.

It's always an opinion, not sure why everyone thinks everything I say is set in stone. From a logical point of view, 1 practice usually means they don't have time to put in a game plan.

What research applies to no game plan in preseason? It did look like they wanted to try to run the ball more.

The first game is home. Detroit is a road game

I don't think PS players get any more reps than 2 nd string players. Since Hippolyte has been exposed to the NFL. If on the practice squad, his speed will attract attention.

No but they had a short week ( one practice) and they don't normally scheme for preseason games.

Clearly the noise disrupted the offense and they needed this experience to move forward with. Thuney didnt play and he would matter with the pressure from Jones in the middle. BJ didnt scheme anything so hopefully he would have a better plan when you play such experienced offenses. As normal in KC games, they seem to got a lot of calls that went their way. As Adam said we were short handed on defense and it showed. We didnt have any pass rush but Mahomes was getting the ball out quick, always hard to affect with a pass rush. We are not ready for prime time yet but that makes this a lesson for both coaches and players. You cant be sloppy and expect to beat the Chiefs.

Just seen where Brian Robinson Jr just got traded to the 49ers for a 6th round pick. I would say the Bears arent worried about the injuries to RJ and Monangai.

I think they only keep 5 WRs because of the ability to move Loveland to the outside and running a lot of 12 personal. Kiran will be on the roster, I dont think they expose him to waivers. Ruben and Amen will be last 2 LBers. Blackwell hasnt practiced for a few weeks, so I think Nick McCloud could slide in there. The majority of final roster spots will be controlled by who is healthy.

The problem is you cant suggest it in a box. First there is a cost? That in itself would be a determinant that is now trying to build this team with the draft. Trading 2 to 3 assets rocks that boat. Second the cost of the contract he clearly wont play unless he gets it. 40+ mil. They already addressed the position with Dayo and expecting Booker to take a step forward. Those are questions I think they answer before they say (we have a problem) They think they have a high end DE in Sweat that is getting paid a lot of money. They are not viewing last year as his standard, they look to his 12.5 sacks as his norm. We now have an aggressive D coach that will increase our total by scheme.

does anyone remember Jackson Powers-Johnson, a 2nd round C from Oregon? The Raiders has moved him to compete at RG, he is being beat out by an UNFA Jordon Meredith . I actually wanted us to take him.

What do you think of Austin Reed? Has a similar background like Bagent.

This is just a healthy discussion because its not going to happen. Teams like Cleveland make trades like this, not a team that added assets on the DL. It would make more sense for a all pro type LT, but like Monga stated once, no star pass rusher has gotten their team to a SB. Parsons, Garrett, Hendirckson, TJ Watt, or Crosby. The only one that actually got to a SB in the recent past was Nick Bosa.

I understand but a hard sell on a NFL conspiracy would be tough to execute. I get they may like the results. It sure does look that way some times?

Yes we acquired assets in the DL and Booker-Dexter will get better. Lets see what we got. We had 40 sacks last year and added an aggressive D coach. Adding a 31 yr old (Dec 5) pass rusher doesn't make a lot of sense. Parsons is at least young, what is Trey going to give you ? One maybe 2 good yrs for a 4 yr 40+ contract. That is how GMs get fired doing that.

I want to get to the SB so I have a chance to complain about the officiating. Definitely a lot of mistakes on the ref tree.

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
