Leonard Williams... that was a tough day for WAB.
I also struggled with the Floyd/Whitehair/Bullard trio. I remember thinking the Bears just drafted Christian Jones/Charles Leno/Pernell McPhee again. I'm not yet sure if I was right or wrong...

If McPhee's knees weren't trash I'd be damn happy with Bullard being McPhee. When healthy he was a monster a few years ago, he just then became more famous for his mouth than play.

Part of me wonders if they shouldn't ask Bullard to drop weight since he struggles keeping it on, and stand him up. Going into Florida he was 240. If he can play outside at 270ish, he'd basically be McPhee. I hate him at 5T. He's just a bad fit for this defensive line but I'd like to figure out a way to make him productive.

I like Bullard man, I think he needed to put on weight and learn the nuances of playing 5T after pretty much being a 3T at Florida. He looks fucking thick in one of those Bears OTA videos.

Thank you! I said a long time ago he should be the base OLB who kicks in at 3T. He was a onegap penetration stud now being told to two-gap. It is a mismatch for him. It isn't like he was a lummox, his 3 cone was less than a half second behind Bosa at 16 pounds heavier.
From an athletic/physical standpoint his numbers were remarkably similar to Gerald McCoy. Anyone want him two-gaping? Regardless, I'm hoping in his 3rd year things turn on for him. I'm a Gator homer so I am biased as hell, but he is a solid player and at worst becomes our Izzy. A solid starting piece on the DL .

Largely agree and I'm open to that. Of course, then we'd for sure have to draft another 5T guy. But I think the Bears needed to do that anyway.
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".
