ASHKUM BEAR

Flashback to Lamarr Houston's celebration sack. Hate to see great players injured, but Bears can use the help.

The NFL always likes to take it to the Bears, probably bc the owners still hold traditional values and are not in the elite wealthylevel like many other owners If the Bears received those (2) 3rd comp picks, my god how much better they could be. 2026, DT Gracen Halten who SF took round 4 who looks real with 15 tkl and 2 sacks in 5 games. He fractured his ankle, so out now but a 3T for years. Then for 2027, another top 100 prospect would help ease the loss of the 1st.

I think the Bears chose the right path using all assets to place around their new investment drafted QB to start this new era. Sure, the defense sacrificed from it, but now that the offense is established we are seeing the work being placed to get the defense back to were it needs to be. Thinking of how the Bears are now a top contender, maybe Goodell seen this and why they said you are not getting those two comp picks.

I don't think the Bears want to play in another public owned stadium as this mentions. It is sad they cannot build their own on the lakefront, such a wonderful location for them.

Well said AZ. Next year's cap is showing 20 mil over without figuring the 5th year options on Caleb/Odunze. The Bears will work on extensions first to help lower the cap on Jonah Jackson/Thuney/Kmet, but will have to cut a valuable player or two to keep this train chugging . The thought of FAs is not existent right now without changing major chemistry.

This mock fell favorably for the Bears, bye week fun. A good press man CB , a high effort technician at edge, and a quick 3T for pass downs. RB that played w Caleb at USC and is a hybrid WR/RB. Another LB with speed and coverage skills. There were some IOL and TEs available with the 6th but went RB since most of this year the Bears been thin. This draft will give the Bears options with Jaylon, Sweat, Jarrett and Dayo who will be considered as cap cuts

The clock expired and Poles sat on his hands, Bravo! CB- Malik Muhammed will be back. He will be opposite of Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon at NB and Tyrique Stevenson primary back up. This is light years better than last year. JJ showed improvement and hopefully takes that game and continues. S Coby Bryant should be back in a month too which frees Bam Cam Lewis as rotational depth as well. DE/pass rush - Sweat took Dayos meme and is now "motivated". Booker asked for opportunity and it is showing. Turner returned and is showing a flash? But he should start growing with experience. Dayo is returning and was one of the Bears better rushers before injury. This all revolves around DT Jeffrey Simmons and his presence in the middle. Jarrett and Lynch seem to be showing up. Bears worked out DT Jordan Elliott who may push Van Den Berg to PS in time if signed. Heck even Bush is showing what he can do with the addition of Simmons. So I am happy the Bears stood still and can use the remaining draft to help re-tool after the season and hard decisions will have to be made.

What pissed me off is Collinsworth, saying how huge of a play it was for the Bucs. No mention the WR was knocked out cold. No concern for the Bears player. F him. I dont think it was intentional head hit, but when a player drops it should be reviewed. Glad the Bears won and Burden walked on his own to the sideline.

Not one mention of penalty for helmet to helmet. Burden knocked out.

Kyler back in the game. Being thin at DB, we cannot spare another injury.

JJ with a much needed boost to his soul. Now just need good news on #6.

Not sure what BJ needs to do, maybe get run game on track next series. But Caleb needs to find the rhythm that left the building.

Sounds like a good move to me. Wed have 3 Titan defensive lineman that would be familiar with former Colts Dayo and Gallimore.

3 days until the deadline. With next year's draft picks already thin, I don't see them spending much unless it is for a guy with a couple years on contract. They will need to cut/fill some spots being 41.7 million over cap in 2027. Sweat will be an easy cap casualty or restructure with his PED violation and JJ with performance. I think they are done unless a player has a contract that works with the future.

Caleb is almost there and has the team there with him for executing. It is a thing of beauty to watch these last 3 games since he returned. Since this comeback, you don't see the Bears go 4 and out at the 2 yd. With the team executing, I think Ben is also. Ben is also punting or taking FGs more than earlier. I still feel like Caleb doesn't get hurt if the Bears took the FG and we could have beat the Vikings. But the flip side is would Caleb have grown like he has if he didn't watch from the sideline.
