Alaskan Grizzly Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 1 hour ago, BearFan PHX said: I still think we may look at that position in the offseason too, but Im not mad at Benedet, and I wouldnt presume to put a ceiling on what he could become either at this point They saw enough of him to put him ahead of a guy who’s been out starting LT now for 3(?) years. And with regards to untapped potential still on the team, there’s Trapilo waiting in the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all want the LT position settled, but when you have the seventh rated OL, in the first year of a system, that's a great thing. Add in that these five guys have never played together before this season. Braxton was always average at best, but coming off the injury made him worse. We could even sign him on the cheap, as he is still very young. I could see Theo taking over for Thuney one day. If draft day comes and the clear best prospect is a left tackle, I'm taking him. If it's close, I'm taking someone to get after the QB. We need that first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to stock that defensive line more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to stock that defensive line more than anything else. The future of our Left OT does need to be addressed. However, this year we were all into boosting the offense. Mission accomplished. Next year, we need to address our defense's needs with the same aggressiveness. If we do —and succeed— we will have one hellava team. PS - Dump Hightower! I didn't like him when he was hired initially. I was disappointed when BJ brought him back. Enough, already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to spend a first round pick on a LT, even though Id love to have that player. We need a pass rush so bad. I honestly wouldnt mind if the first three picks all go to defense. And of course there is free agency and all that too. Imagine if we could put two studs on the D line. That, plus the continued development of the offense would make us a real contender next year. Course you have to draft, sign the right guys. They have to be absolute beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted November 12 Author Report Share Posted November 12 Greenard right now is questionable with an injury he sustained on Sunday. If he doesn't go, that is a huge relief for the O-Line as he is very disruptive with pressures and TFLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Burkhardt and Brady are calling this matchup. Brady's called two of Caleb's best games of his career (Packers last year, Cowboys this year). Let's hope that continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 A more in depth review of the Bears from Bercich. Some of the plays he highlights are the same. My overall take is that he does not sound confident in his team going against this offense. My second observation is that he sees what Caleb is becoming and it's not good for the Vikings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH1RO0mcGaI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 On nytimes.com/athletic, there's an article with some fun facts. I love this one as it is almost eerie in its timing: Quote • The last time the Bears were 6-3 was 2018, and they beat the Vikings in Week 11 to advance to 7-3.

Though a loss wouldn't be the end of the world, it'll be hard for me to take the Bears seriously if they let JJ McCarthy sweep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 This team has to find a way to do no worse than 2-2 during this 4 game stretch if they want to keep their playoff hopes realistically alive. Today's the most important day of the 4. Knock off Minnesota as a wildcard competitor and start racking up wins in the division, which could be important for tiebreakers later.
