At this point, Compton is an upgrade to Kyle. He was a shell of his healthy self out there.

Compton has held up pretty well at guard considering he was signed to push Massie out of a job.

Sad to see Long go on IR, but it needs to happen. If he has any chance of shaking the lingering injuries that have been a big issue with the second half of his career, he's going to need a good stretch to get healthy.

Long honestly should have been on IR to start the year.

I'm concerned.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.

It's been shuffled all year along the interior. It's not as if this is new.

At this point, next year is a big year for him, the last 3 years he seems to have missed more games than played. For a guard making 8+mil, not great on the cap.

that sucks, I wanted him to get looks on passing downs, to see if he could be a depth pass rusher next year. Bears need to add depth at OLB.

At least now we can finally see what we have in Bullard. Unrein was a nice surprise this year and would be a guy I'd like to bring back, either as great depth or a decent starter.
