Man I wish you would post those vids cause not that I don't like him I think he has the potential but I'm like you earlier and see him as a 3rd back. I'm in the boat that they will move up in second to get Sanders (God I hope so he just has that it factor) and Davis will be a short yardage type guy or see which RB coming off an injury drops and throw them in the 3rd spot for as long as Davis can hold them off and they're completely healthy. The money they threw at Davis is on the low end starter level but when Pace has said in the past he's going to fix a position he usually goes all out. I just have not seen video on Davis that screams starter at this point I firmly believe that's his biggest concern next to kicker...
That's probably the best summary of his style as a runner... has some quickness, sharp jump cut to make a defender miss, decent burst and power behind his pads when he lowers his head.

Was a good vid. Seen some of those plays in other vids but there were some that were new and yeah he definitely has potential. You can't say he doesn't like contact because he definitely will lower a shoulder and I like that. He's a little quicker than Howard and has more lateral movement. I still want Sanders badly but we could do a lot worse than Davis.
”Damn -- Khalil Mack had another strip sack?” Gruden asked rhetorically, shaking his head at the Oakland Raiders assistant coaches in his midst. “Are you ... kidding me?”
Honestly, I don't think I've seen this in my lifetime other than maybe a year or two under Lovie. It's amazing what a great coaching staff can do to a franchise. All the years wasted with mediocre guys where all us fans always knew what it would take but it never registered with the team until now.
All the years of being the guy at the bar that everyone consoles starting week 6... "There's always next year" LOL. Man it's great we have a coaching staff and head coach that makes players want to play here. We can become the next Patriots with that type of magnetism they've had for what a decade now. Add in the fun factor of Nagy and the new training facility this team will be a destination for players for a while!
It's a good time to be a Bear fan!

I'm looking at our cap situation in 2020 and 2021 and thinking that the Bears need to extend guys this year and/or look at 1 year rentals only. As it is the bears are gonna need some restructuring or notable cuts to even participate in 2020 free agency

Daniel Brown is signing a one-year deal with the Jets, a source said. The now-former Bears tight end is off to New York.
I liked Brown. I thought he was sort of a poor man's Greg Olsen that never really got a chance to shine.
Witzman to the Browns. I believe if he signs above 4.5 aav the Bears get a 7th round comp pick. Or regardless I know he goes into the comp pick formula. I have no idea how it’s all figured out.
I mean, I guess. I’d rather he mostly stayed at his position though and we used some of our league average remaining cap space to bring in a guy that can play the position.

Obviously if they signed Gostowski, they would rescind the tag on Gould and he would become a free agent, and hopefully then a Chicago Bear.
I think they would have to go after him immediately if they rescind the tag. For a championship caliber team we all saw what kicking woes ended in. Gould at his worst is still better than what we have had since then.
But that depends on what Gould wants too. He may want a longer and more expensive deal than possible.
Well, scratch that idea - Gost re-upped with the Pats. The thing with the 49ers might have just been thrown out by the agent to drive up the price. Oh well - maybe Gould will simply not sign the franchise tender, and they'll rescind it.
there should be a handful of former AAF players, other than kickers, who will get their shot
the Vikings just signed Karter Schult , the DE/OLB from Salt Lake who was playing at a level above the competition ... this was the guy I wanted the Bears to take a look at ... now I guess they'll have to find a way to block him as I think he will make an impact for them
