Update: Akiem Hicks will NOT be suspended

[thunderspirit]

Where was Roquan?

Running around a lot without much to show for it, from what I remember.

(I haven't rewatched the game, so I could be off-base.)

Covering OJ Howard (until he went out).

I've watched it a couple of times. He had some pretty good tackles at the line of scrimmage, and was flying around the field. He'll get better as the year goes along, but I think he's playing pretty well for a rookie.

[The Marshall Plan]

My son was just pointing out the strength everywhere in the roster. He asked what I thought we were going to look for in the next draft and I said I wasn't sure. The more we thought about it the more we decided that... yeah... right tackle... but it's not like there aren't options there. It might actually be a best available situation simply because there are NO glaring holes. Although then I decided they will be looking for some talent to fill holes that the Mack deal will inevitably open due to lack of cap space... but still, this has to be the most complete and deepest roster we've had in quite a while.

I was thinking about this today too.

S - should they let Amos go.
RB - should they decide to replace Howard
RT - if the Coward experiment doesn't pan out
OG - depth and a future replacement for long
NT - a proper backup for Goldman
CB - if they can't retain Callahan

But aside from maaaaaybe RT, there really isn't a huge "need" spot. Definitely a draft for building quality depth.

The right side of the line needs to be addressed. I don't think Massie is that great and Long seems to get injured a lot.

I think Massie is fine, if completely unspectacular. He’s also most likely gone after this year, so he definitely needs to be replaced.

Getting another young interior lineman would be good too. I don’t trust Kyle Long’s health.

Anyone seen word yet on what Akiem's punishment is? missing any game time?

Nothing announced I don’t think. I’m hoping the fact that he missed a half keeps him from a suspension, but we’ll see.

@AdamHoge

Some good news for the #Bears: Akiem Hicks will not be suspended for making contact with an official in Sunday’s win over the Bucs, per source.

Good. He doesn't have a history, so that makes sense.

[GSH]

sweet

[Umbali]

nice...good to hear

[bearsfaninaz]

I was nervous about this, but this was great news today. They probably had a better view of what happened than the cell phone view it looked like what we saw in broadcast lol

[Mikefive]

Good news! There must've been some mitigating factor.

[Boris13c]

I am happy there was no suspension, but I am really curious as to why

can't recall the last time someone got bounced for contact with an official and wasn't punished later for that ejection ... he did bump the official, probably by accident as he was arguing with an opposing player ... but in most cases I can recall, accident or not, you're ejected and then more happens later

What happens to the fines players pay to the league?

[Otis Day]

The money goes to different charities.

[Pagan]

This is (now old) & great news!

As for Roquan Smith.. He's currently ranked 2nd in team tackles after starting only 3 NFL games in his rookie season.
Roquan will be an absolute beast mid~late season... Everyone needs to at least TRY to chill out on their unrealistic expectations.

[G08]

Good. I thought the ejection was unnecessary.

[Boris13c]

Good. I thought the ejection was unnecessary.

watch the replay ... he did make voluntary contact with an official, and by the rules, that is an automatic ejection

[cblaz11]

Glad Hicks isn’t getting suspended.

As far as Roquan, I watched defensive clips from the Cardinals game from the all 22 shot...That kid can cover!

[Mikefive]

Where do you go to get the all-22s?

[skamanfrank]

Or does anyone want to share a login/pass?

[KOP_Snake]

I might share it if it allowed more than one login at a time.

I've also found the quality to be shit if there's any sort of internet traffic when you want to watch a game.
