I think that if anyone is going to light a fire under Long, and motivate him to get healthy, it will be Hellfrich. It will be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out.wab wrote:I’m not counting on Long to play much more in his career, let alone much next season.
Do the Bears trade back in the draft?

I think you mean Hiestand, but even a good coach can't motivate a chronic injury to get better.Bears Whiskey Nut wrote:I think that if anyone is going to light a fire under Long, and motivate him to get healthy, it will be Hellfrich.

I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

No I mean Hellfrich. That was his OC when he was at Oregon. Both him and Grasu played under him while he was coaching there. Long knows what he brings to the table. Yes Long has had some chronic injuries, but I am wondering if this would motivate him a little more to try and figure out how to STAY healthy.Atkins&Rebel wrote:I think you mean Hiestand, but even a good coach can't motivate a chronic injury to get better.Bears Whiskey Nut wrote:I think that if anyone is going to light a fire under Long, and motivate him to get healthy, it will be Hellfrich.

I don’t see anyone wanting to trade up to only the 8th pick.

Ummmmm.... well of course that would be an ideal situation. But there's no way outside of Xbox that it's going to happen.
The Bills would be giving up almost 2500 points to the Bears 1536.

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".

I wish that posters proposing trades would indicate who they think is taken in the first 7 (any order) and who the team trading with the Bears wants to snatch at #8 and why the Bears would be a better trade partner than the Bucs or the 49ers.

Just showing I am completely against trading down. We have a shot, at #8, to land the most sure fire pick since Von Miller in Quenton Nelson. If he’s not there, maybe.

If Nelson is such a sure thing and he's sitting there at #8 I would have to imagine our phone could be ringing off the hook for the pick. If you can sell that pick, over a guard mind you, and get a ton back then go for it.
