no kidding. and when Fields is looking downfield I say "throw it throw it" I know sometimes no ones open. Sometimes.

You know, in a lot of years, everything was broken. We are in a very good position now, We have a bunch of good players we dont question, and the holes are obvious now. That bodes well for next year.

OMG EJax make an effort would you? Just something to remember you by after we cut your useless ass.

VERY GLAD Brisker is ok

I totally agree

I think that has to do with the difference between the Cover 2 and the Tampa 2. I think Edmunds would be an Urlacher in Tampa 2, but that's not Eberflus' thing.

I see that too - my gut reaction is it's coaching, but I want to see the film later this week to see if they are doing something creative to us to make that happen.

JF is a great rusher on the edge, and up the middle when pass plays break down and the defense is spread out. They stuffed him up the middle on 3rd down.

UGH. Stop being so cute. If you're gonna pitch the ball, pitch it to Foreman. Getsy: it's not always about confusing defenses, this is the NFL, sometimes your guy just has to run over their guy. So having Mooney be your lead blocker, and asking a WR to carry a guy several yards on his back, might not be the best thing. I know Moore has done it before, but those were DBs, not LBs.

Also, it should be said, that after several years of seeming like he was underperforming, Kmet is really maturing this year. And he is still very young.

and it will loosen up the defense for the running game too. That's football 101.

yeah on that play I think youre right. Ill wait for the all 22, but I think youre right.

OK great throw to Kmet! Ball came out fast. That's what Im hoping to see.

good point.

Nice pick by JJ! Too bad EJax had to have a penalty. So far this game is just everything we've seen so far. All the good and all the bad. We are who we think we are? The good news is unlike other years where everything was broken, we can truly see where the changes need to be made, and what is working.

true, and we definitely need an upgrade at center, but if Fields was getting the ball out fast, it wouldnt be the same issue. Try counting seconds (correlated with how many steps his drop is) before Goff releases, then count those seconds for Fields and see if Fields is touched before you get to the point where Goff releases.

and that's coaching. you gotta have a response to something like that.

yes, and lets the defense have a chance to control the game.

I think when your QB has a bunch of designed runs, they call the hits a little less maybe?

Yeah he's great at that stuff, but he isn't pulling the trigger in rhythm. It always takes those heroics. And he is quite a hero. But why even have plays?

Bears blitz! Woo hoo.

David Montgomery is still a great back, and we dont miss him at all. EDIT: and he drops the easy pass lol

Ha! DJ Moore with the fake reverse to Fields. Doing a great job using JF as a running back on the scripted drive.

Better than asking Mooney to be the lead blocker on screens. sheesh.

I think Poles knew he was reaching when he drafted Jones and did it anyway because he had to to try to evaluate Fields. i dont think he thought it was a smart pick, I think he knew he was in an impossible situation and took a low percentage swing to try to get something. I think Poles knew it wasnt ideal, and was trapped. I dont think it's part of his normal way of thinking. Same with Claypool.
