Re: Eddie Jackson vs. Mike Brown - The first 6 years

I'll wait until Eddie's career/Bears tenure is up before comparing to Mike Brown. Brown would be one of the best safeties in NFL history if he could've stayed healthy, but his body betrayed him. He lost so much time and opportunity to injury, and it's an incredible shame, because he was so fun to wa...

Re: 9th Pick

What would people’s thoughts be if the Bears traded down again and took Kancey out of Pitt?

Re: Foreman to Bears

Homer is an upgrade to Ebner. RB3 who can catch, run in a pinch, and play good ST. Ebner sucked I’m hoping he’s a goner. I like Jamaal Williams too, but we chose Foreman over him - not Homer. Plus, plenty of great Simpsons joke opportunities with Homer, bonus. Ebner had a pile of opportunities to s...

Re: 9th Pick

I'm not sure who would be trading up to 9 for the sake of trading up unless Jalen Carter is there and some team is infatuated with him, but that seems iffy at best. Otherwise at nine, here's who would be available, more than likely: - Devon Witherspoon or Christian Gonzalez - Peter Skoronski - Pari...

Re: 3-4 alignment?

I'm no expert, but I don't think there's much remaining core alignments left in the league. Teams have philosophies and tendencies based on available talent or stubbornness of the coaching staff, but I think all defenses primarily run hybrid packages. I'll happily default to more coach-leaning minds...

Re: Foreman to Bears

Did a little digging on Foreman and the results are: excellent! I’m really excited about this guy, I think he was stuck behind an elite high volume back and when he got his shot to play he looked outstanding. His style suits our offense well, he’s tough and low and decisive. A better short yardage ...

Re: Offensive Linemen trends & data

Interesting. Rather than using 1+ PBs as the filter, I'd be interested in seeing the round distribution of OTs drafted maybe 2010-2016 with say 72 or more starts (at T) Meaning we're looking at "good enough to be a constant starter there" rather than "good enough to make a Pro Bowl&q...

Whitehair starting C for 2023 Bears?

Poles seemed to indicate today that Whitehair will be rostered as a center this year, which would mean he'd likely start and Lucas Patrick would be a super sub on the interior line or compete with whoever for the left guard spot (or RG if they want Nate Davis to be at LG, which doesn't make sense to...

Re: Offensive Linemen trends & data

This list makes logical sense IMO. The interesting thing about the Chiefs is that while they are willing to let OL walk in FA, they are also super aggressive in signing new ones! The strategy doesn't work unless you do both things. I really want Poles to up his game and get a little more aggressive...

Offensive Linemen trends & data

I had some time to kill between meetings and threw this together for whatever it may be worth to you. This is a set of data that shows the draft position of offensive linemen who have a Pro Bowl on their resume. GS = Games Started PB = Pro Bowl AP = All Pro (1st or 2nd team) For players who started ...

Re: Bears sign QB PJ Walker

Kinda like this signing. I think Trevor is more of a QB coach at this point. Greg Gabriel seems convinced they're going with 3 QBs, but I tend to think he's stuck in 1998. Maybe NFL will come out with a emergency QB rule that basically requires 3 real QBs though. 1. Gabriel is frustrating. Guy know...

Re: 2023 Draft Sims

1.12 - Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa. The Beastening Begins
2.33 - Adetomiwa Adebawore, 3T/DE, Northwestern. The Beastening continues.
2.54 - Joe Tippmann, C/G, Wisconsin. The Beastening goes on the offensive.

If the Bears do this with their first three picks, I will be absolutely pumped.
