adam Posted April 28 Author Report Share Posted April 28 Just looking through stats from last year, the Bears will have the deepest receiving group in the NFL. Whoever ends up as pass-catching TE2 will be the best TE2 in the league. Whoever ends up as WR3 will be the best WR3 in the league. Whoever ends up WR2 will be a top 5 WR2. Odunze had the most yards of any WR3 and the 2nd most receptions in the NFL last year. Allen had the 2nd most receptions as WR2, both on a terrible offense. If things go as planned, I think Moore will have over 80 receptions, Odunze and Loveland will have over 70, Burden over 60, and Kmet over 50. Add 30+ for RBs and another 10 or so for all others and that should put Williams near 400 completions. Williams had 351 last year and Goff had 390 with comparable weapons, so it checks out. Moore, Odunze, Burden > St. Brown, Williams, Patrick Loveland, Kmet > LaPorta, Wright Swift, Johnson < Gibbs, Montgomery I also think Moore will have 20+ carries (he had 14 last year) and I am sure Burden and Loveland will have a few as well. That may be why they didn't want to commit higher draft capital on a RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 We easily have more firepower than Lions had last year on an offense that scored 70 TDs. If Caleb is up to the task, he should be closer to 5000 than 4000 with 30+ TDs. Johnson said the offense will run thru Caleb but a running game will complent it. Let me be the first to say Monangai will end up a fan favorite. Because of disappointment on a well known name and as a late round pick, he is being dismissed. I'm not. I heard some people use Deboo Samuel as a comparison to Luther Burden that averaged 50 carries a year. We have plenty of ammunition to have a good running game.

I was referring to the overall numbers of players Caleb has with quality traits. And it's an opinion. You disagree, it's okay. We don't have Gibbs but that doesn't mean we can't have an effective running game. Williams has speed that is unique to the league but we have ( projection) 3 quality WRs and 2 quality TEs and ( I could be wrong about this) a better QB.

Leaving OL out of the equation, they have three mismatch players on offense and we have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I expect this year to be different from last year plus we have the coach that put that offense in the position to flourish. We don't know what to expect from any of our WRs, TEs, or RBs with Johnson pulling the trigger. I'm optimistic it's going to go well . I wasn't comparing one player to another player, just the overview of the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted Tuesday at 06:12 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:12 PM Watching training camp videos of Travis Hunter compared to real WRs, I think JAX made a mistake trading away all that draft capital for him when they could've had Jeanty+BTJ. Hunter will still be a great CB, but I don't think he will ever even get to Hester level at WR. He will be more of a gadget guy, Jet Sweep, Fly, Post.

I watched a couple Colorado games he never stood out to me as an elite player. At least with Jeanty you could see him making everyone else look like they weren’t on the same level. Then again Hunter didn’t have a good QB and had poor play calling. I’ll be curious to see him play in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which three are you counting? Decker, Ragnow, and Sewell? If so, I’d say you can’t discount Glasgow either. Oh, and BTW, Ratledge is going to a monster in that grouping. They might have an entire OL of mismatch players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was omitting OL altogether and stating they had Gibbs, Williams, and either (LaPorta/St. Brown) as mismatch players? For OL, Sewell and Decker are clearly better on the outside, but on the interior, they lost Zietler, so it would seem that Dalman+Thuney+Jackson has the edge over Ragnow+Glasgow+Ratledge at this moment. Also, how will Detroit's offense look without Johnson and the coaches that left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
