Stinger226

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.

Sounds like DA wanted Dillion quite a bit.

Its just BJ getting another log the for fire. If the young wood isnt dry enough to burn, he brings in some aged wood to burn. Common denominator (speed)

I have heard several times where BJ wants players that love football, high motors and are violent. The UDFA TE, Hayden Large, got a personal call from him before the draft telling him we were interested in getting him. After picking Roush, he thought he may not sign here, but after calling him, he said this is the only place he wanted to be. BJ was pretty excited about that. Probably just a PS member but TEs get injured a lot.

I doubt KT ever weighted 340 while with the Bears, I heard said that both him and Washington were in the 370 range.

This again is going to be a tough division but having BJ and Celeb gives us the edge. Look at what the other teams added in the draft, all were more defensive draft picks over offense. I see the Viking having more of a bum than Lions and Packers.

I see him getting more reps than expected as a 4.28 running the ball.

This is bad news for the Bears. He helped us a lot last year.

We signed a new kickoff return player. He's not real fast but hard to bring down.

That have a birds eye view as to what they have. Like someone said Braxton is around 315 and working his butt off to enter a payday year and brought in Wills. They have to think very highly that that will work out. Not addressing that spot in the draft in any round makes a statement by itself.

Ourlads has a section where they give NFL depth charts and update them regularly. They have Corey Bullock listed as the strarting C. A two year UDFA. Never heard of him before.
