The Oline Committee. Warning this has grown man language all over the place.

Adam you can merge this into your game thread tomorrow or whatever you see fit. I just wanted to get this posted while I had it The video should play the rest of the post will be locked down. It shows how the Vikings work their inside pressure against the center Vikings Double Mug Cross-Dog Sim Pressure MechanicsManipulating Spread Pass Protections with Center Picks and Cage Rushes

We still have a lot of new players on offense. It’s a long season there will be time to work that stuff in. For now they need to focus on executing the game plan. I don’t want to see Caleb check to a play only to have everyone start asking what is the check.

What’s getting in their head is a habit of losing games when they have a lead in the 4th quarter.

I sometimes revel in other people’s misery. On Packers wire is an article about how horrendous their Oline is and how bad their game plan was against Minnesota. It’s also easy to find articles and videos talking about firing the Panthers DC. I’m ready for week 2

I agree. The only positive that comes out of that is that for the rest of the year whenever we line up on 4th and short the defense knows it’s likely for real. We now have a QB with a good hard count so we should get some free first downs as the season plays out.

I’d tell you to be prepared for the cold weather. Then again I’m from AZ and you’re Alaskan perspective might be that it’s hot.

That cheap shot on Kyler Murray’s head should merit a suspension

I’m going to be celebrating all week after this. No NFL team is perfect and that’s nearly impossible to build in the modern era. Win the way your team is built to win. Seattle did it last year with focus on defense. Bears fans (myself included) are always focused on defense. After 5 decades enjoying wins with scores like 20-17, I will be bragging at work all week in having a Bears team that can score more than 50pts in a game. Building the offense has been the focus for the last 3 drafts and this is one heck of a payoff. See where our team is at mid-season and then maybe swing a trade for a guy like Crosby if he’s still healthy. That gives the rookies time to learn. The entire NFL is on notice.

Jahdae deserves a game ball. He’s everywhere from special teams plays to big blocks on running plays to TDs.

I was thinking the same

He’s an old man. He’s lost that quick twitch. Hopefully getting more game reps he gets some of it back. These running plays behind Darnell Wright. I’m just going to call him I-58 because he’s opening up a highway.

Ben!

Dayo still sucks. Not sure why he’s getting so much time inside on 3rd and long but he’s useless. Likely concerned about the rookie having bad eyes but at least VDB will get upfield. Let him learn.

Early returns. Dline is much better or their oline is bad. Likely a combo of both. Thieneman is a stud.
