Got any Penix poems? :D
No, but I can think of a Limerick that starts with;

There once was a lady from Phoenix
Who's mouth desperately needed some Penix
The Cardinals had none
The draft hadn't begun

And, as I always like to point out, it gives them shorter fields.
Having a shorter field may help them WIN games, but it won't help them learn to adapt to the pro game's differences.

Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized

Respectfully, I disagree that the WR and DE positions are basically of the same import. The issue isn't as simple as "both positions could have an injury, so hedging your bet with an extra player at that position is the same for both". It's not that simple: if we draft a DE and he or Swea...

Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized

One of Odunze or Turner will be there at 9. Take whichever is there and it’s a win. Barring a team hopping up to 7, I think that's probably the case. The biggest difference in the 3rd WR vs the 3rd DE is that the 3rd DE is going to see more opportunities than the 3rd WR. If you have them graded equ...

Re: Bears Big Board at current slots

Fair enough, but I think you are pretty dramatically under valuing what Justin Jones brought last year, and I think that the way to compensate since we didn't sign a FA there is by kicking Walker inside more often. Jones got a nice contract for a reason. And I'm a lot more confident in Scott than I...
