Interesting table, I suppose when you have the worst record in the NFL and a bunch of free agents you’ve got the most scope to improve

Re: DL Reconstruction…so far

Taking Double A first is starting to grow on me. At 9? I don't know - if he is going to be as good as people seem to think, then why not? Why not get that 5th year for a stud DT? The Bears only have one first rounder - so if they're taking someone at 9 I can rationalize it. Trading down and risking...

Re: DL Reconstruction…so far

Again, I think they're really looking for ADETOMIWA ADEBAWORE at 3T (HA, I have to keep cutting and splicing his name to get it right :-P ). The more tape I watch of this guy, the more convinced I am. Right now, he's climbing and expected to go at top of round 2. I could see him in a trade down. Bu...

Re: 2023 Free Agency News / Rumors / Transactions

I think it’s a bit of a fallacy to ‘rate on off season’ because it removes the context within which it’s occurred. I think if you asked Poles team to rate the off season they’d say 9/10. Not perfect, it never will be, but everything has gone according to their plan. Like I say, 12 mths ago we had m...

If nobody is freaking out, tell me why it’s brought up by the same 3-4 people every single thread.

I think they can compete, and I think they still have holes to f...

Re: 9th Pick

What would people’s thoughts be if the Bears traded down again and took Kancey out of Pitt? I’m very happy with a trade down. Steelers or Seattle are the 2 teams I’d look to trade with. Steelers have 17 and our 32 (I want these back) Seattle have 20 and 37 - this would be acceptable. I don’t know a...

Re: 2023 Free Agency News / Rumors / Transactions

I’m not worried by Poles’ plan. He’s sticking to the plan - good for him. Remember when we had one of the worst cap situations and one of the leanest draft capital? Yeah, that was 12 months ago, when Poles took over. Loaded with vets who were past their peak but still on big contracts. Multiple year...

Exactly.
I mean it’s meaningless.
This is how fast he could run, in a straight line (meaningless) with no pads on (meaningless).

Re: Whitehair starting C for 2023 Bears?

I dont think Leatherwood is in the plans. I may be wrong. But, I would have thought he would have played more last season if he was. I also believe Whitehair is more of a luxury than the plan at this point. We know he can play and we do not know who we get in the draft yet. Plans for him may change...

Re: Moving Forward.....

I think Poles is of the mindset - if I can get sure fire star players like Edmunds then I’ll pay them. If I can only get decent players in FA then I’ll grow my own star players. I think Leatherwood or Borom are going to be starters on the Oline. Perhaps they’re going to draft a tackle too and let th...

I have a new theory and it could be an exciting outcome. We all know how well B Jones has done since being a 5th round draft last year. Poles brought in Leatherwood - a player who has been described as having incredible physical traits. We have Teven Jenkins - a very highly rated OT in college. We ...
