Nagy post practice comments

[Z Bear]

In this scenario, Kush is your center.

I'd prefer him as the swing guard on the bench with Whitehair at C and Nelson at LG.

[bearsfaninaz]

Guess this makes our draft needs bigger in DL now. Maybe Morgan can play center?

[thunderspirit]

Coward to guard is interesting.

Very.

I thought Coward had potential, at his size, to develop into a backup NT. He does move pretty well so I can see the notion for the switch. We'll see if anything comes of it.

[thunderspirit]

Dug up in my UDFA notes from last year: Coward's arm length measured 33 5/8" at his pro day, with 9 1/2" arms and a 79 3/4" wingspan. Physically, he has some tools to work with.

White looks quick

Shaheen looks like he slimmed down a bit -- good!

Or DL?

Looks like I saw Kevin White wearing #11 in the video above.

• Cam Meredith's departure had multiple facets to it besides money and injury

Problem 1: The spin is already changing - 2 days ago, everyone was talking about how it was totally 100% a medical decision.

Problem 2: When he says "multiple facets to it besides money and injury", I hear "I want the ball going to my guys & Pace wants the accolades going to his higher-profile acquisitions", which is disturbing.

Where did the Bears say anything about it being 100% money?

I may have misquoted Nagy too drastically. The quote is something far more innocuous.

“The depth right now could improve — that’s the obvious answer,” Nagy said Tuesday, nine days before the start of the NFL draft. “But again, you have guys in this room, you say today there are guys who are there and you don’t want to slight them. You have to give them every opportunity.

“What we’ll do – what (general manager) Ryan (Pace) and I will do, we’ll talk to the staff and figure out which direction we want to go. But you really can’t have enough wide receivers.”

“His biggest question mark is of his injury with his knee,” Nagy said of Meredith, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament and partially tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the Bears’ third preseason game last year. “That’s the No. 1 thing. You’ve got to see where you’re at with that. And then you’ve got to go into the fit and where he’s at and different things.”

I could be wrong but I think Kevin White switched his jersey number to 17

Looked like it: " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No other receiver has dreads like that.

I'm still dreaming of a world where White stays healthy all year and finally realizes his potential. I will continue that dream until it is officially dead.

That's a creative interpretation, when in truth he said nothing remotely like this.

But they're you're ears, I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• Cody Whitehair he feels like is better suited for guard than center

Where is this comment from Nagy ?

[cblaz11]

I really fear that their going to jam Grasu on us...The guy has really been disappointing so far. From his injuries and lack of strength, to his inability to execute consistently, I'm concerned if he's starting at C next year.

[wab]

Jesus. Lose Cam Meredith and apparently everyone has spurs on everything that’s been done to this point.

I mean. It’s Cam Meredith guys.

I misquoted a tweet from a Bears beat reporter - they were talking about Coward, not Whitehair. That's my mistake.

I've updated the original post with quotes from the press conference nearly verbatim. I'm not doing this again.

I thought the exact same thing but didn't want to say anything

I fucked up by adding my interpretations, which won't happen again, because I'm not going to go through press conferences like this again since it all comes back to me as people expect a stenographer.

My bad.

FWIW - Hoge and Jahns podcast had a couple comments about how 'fast' White looked in the practice yesterday - and how they couldn't say that about him in TC last season.

At the very least it sounds like he got his body ready. Now he just needs a little luck.

Somebody, who escapes me (maybe Pace?), said that White's injury that ended his 2017 was in some ways "beneficial" in that it wasn't to his legs. Being relatively immobile for months while recovering must weaken the shit out of your legs and is perhaps part of why his upper body is so shredded - couldn't work out anything else for basically two years. Now that he's had a full offseason of his legs available to him he can work on his overall fitness and muscle/core/etc.

It was Pace. He also said that White has been working diligently on his route running and quickness. Even in that 4 second blurb of him yesterday I thought he looked very quick on his jerk route. I liked it.

He may have not directly said it, but multiple facets not including injury or money. Seems like moriaty version has legs

[Rusty Trombagent]

who's this #81? he's adorable:



(tanner gentry is #19 and is 6'1", so i dont think it's him. no #81 listed on the bear's official roster) I think he might be some coach's kid at fantasy camp.
