BearFan PHX

it was crazy. I cant imagine how they dont know one of their 5 active feeds is dark for the entire first quarter. Like there is no QC at all? No one checking the streams on a computer just to make sure? wow.

wow they finally fixed it in the 2nd quarter. dedication. sheesh.

So I got an email today from NFL Sunday Ticket that the preseason game would stream on my NFL Sunday Ticket app today, sort of a test out the software pre weekend offer I guess. So Ive got my app open, and I can see the other games, but the Bears feed is just black. It's not blacked out in Arizona. Anyone else seeing this too? I had the same result on multiple devices.

Hopefully they can use Kmet to punish defenses who gang up on Mooney, but we will need another WR to step up. Pringle?

thanks for the heads up - and thank you so much for this site too. I think the regulars i see posting in here, and myself all really love this place. I know i get better info here than on any other board, so thanks!

and let's not forget Patrick, who may be the best C of the bunch.

totally agree. i was thinking of Kwitkowski. Hillenmeyer is another good comparison. SLB possibly or backup. As much as Sandborn has heart and smarts, he's still only got a 4.7 forty. Run a drag route across his face while you clear out the other side, and he just cant cover it. Possibly a special teams ace.

I dont disagree with that. If they are close to even and Borom has more upside that you want to develop, then sure. Especially in a year like this.

I cant imagine putting the lesser starter in for a superior backup role filled. I think Borom has simply outplayed Reiff. Either that, or theyre getting Borom more expereince, and when Reiff is ready, he'll come in. I really just think Borom stepped up tho.

yes, and we havent seen that for a long time. the difference in coaching is already clearly visible.

they dont need to have. If he balls out, someone will pay him next year. no need for an agreement.

Sure, but I dont think Roquan will take a lesser deal, I dont think he is feeling pressure about saving face. He's thinking he will ball out and then get a huge deal next year. But Poles wont pay more then than Roquan wanted now. Poles won.

Roquan was asking for the top deal, so Poles didn't have to think too hard. It's not like if he has to get in a bidding war after next year (if he wants to keep him) that he will kick himself for not having taken a cheaper deal now. Thats the problem with asking for the top deal, the is no leverage to get it done early.

awesome, good for Poles.

I think he only played the first series - I think thats why the DL looked so porous.

I dont think Jones played, and he was getting a ton of penetration in the first preseason game.

right - for where he was drafted, he should have been a great LOT. But he isnt one, and if we can get a road grading OG out of him, so much the better. If Jones ascends quickly, Poles ill look like a genius.

Yes, a lot. I think that the rumor we heard about Jenkins clashing with coaches was over them wanting him to play G when he wanted to play T. Now that hes accepting it, they are putting all this praise out there. Also, if Jenkins has a temper, and is that competitive, it's not necessarily all bad.

agree. Reiff is the starter.

me too. 3T Jones looked good too on Saturday - he was getting a lot of penetration. If the OL and DL perform well, we could have the start of something.

LOL Grizz, no way they trade Metcalf for Smith - I would do that in a heart beat.

I think we'd want a first rounder and something. I wouldnt let a player be the big value in the trade over a draft pick. Then again, who do they have at WR?

yup thats what I mean He might have said "Im an OT dammit, if you dont want me trade me!" and they might have said "calm down and think a minute" If Jenkins has a nasty attitude that isnt all bad. If he takes it out on the defenders, Im all for it!

I wonder if maybe he had a little trouble accepting he wouldn't play OT, and they have been trying to ease him into OG mentally for the past few weeks. Maybe that had something to do with everything that happened? At any rate, I agree with you Mongo, he should be a beast at RG. Hopefully he stays healthy there.

Jenkins is playing RG with the 1s. Cool. https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2022/8/16/23308275/teven-jenkins-promoted-to-first-team-right-guard
