And with regards to untapped potential still on the team, there’s Trapilo waiting in the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with regards to untapped potential still on the team, there’s Trapilo waiting in the wings. I tend to agree. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

I agree with all of this. 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.

adam Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted Thursday at 04:06 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:06 PM 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 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.
