Considering no other options I’ll reiterate that promoting Al Harris as DC would be the best option IMHO. On the one hand, despite me not being a fan, I agree (if only a little) to keep Allen as he was dealt a difficult hand in available players to him. The Bears last draft weighed heavily on the offense and almost everyone will agree this year will focus more on defense. I suspect the team will keep him for no other reason than his ‘reputation’ is what it is . On the second hand, I worry that Harris will leave for a coordinator job (possibly GB) and I fear we’ll end up regretting that.

I think you may be onto something. There is something to be said about durability esp in the NFL. And he has shown that given how much he’s making. And really how many times have we seen him standing open? I’d concede to the idea that if he had some high trade value and you could get some valuable commodity (player or pick) you’d almost have to take it in order to improve the defense.

Pretty incredible considering how late in the season he got used/started. I envision him as the Bears version of LaPorta(?). Id imagine Rome would’ve been #1 had he not been injured(?).

Unfortunately I think you’re right. Burden is nearly the identical player who is younger and cheaper.

Was just gonna say that. He’s lost a step big time. Williams made him look like he was standing still.

Think Moore is playing hurt. During that INT saw his leg buckle a little towards the end of the play and then they showed him do it again later in the game.

Wife was just asking this. They were able to go blow for blow with SF all game then play like this.

You think Dan Campbell could become Johnson’s Achilles heel?

Was just gonna ask about that. Seems like once he saw the safety drop he’d have seen him open almost literally right in front of him. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Looked like he thought it was going high and out but yeah the defender wouldn’t have caught it. The first drop by Walker didn’t make sense to me. Because with all the open field all Williams had to do was keep it up and lead him.

So much for that missed field goal good omen.

For me it feels more like 2018.

Is the missed field goal at the end a good omen?

Yeah was wondering about that. Jason?

So Loveland has gone from very little usage early in the season to the only guy they’re throwing to today?

Yeah I could see GB trying to snatch him up for DC. Their current DC is allegedly in the running for a HC gig.

Gotta get back to WCO and avoid the big pass play tries. Which includes outside zone running.

I’m personally a fan of having Al Harris as DC.

Seen enough of CJ on coverage…or lack thereof. Keep him at NB or even maybe safety .

Caleb has been audibiling into most of his run plays. What’s he seeing? Loose coverage on the safeties?

Yup. That’s his specialty. Shoulda done a lot more of this last week. Seattle was running all over SF early on yesterday.

It appears you are correct. At least he’s getting better in time for next week, I hope. Good thing is perhaps we’ll see more of Walker.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see some pass rush through blitzing today. Goff is not at all mobile and once rattled starts making mistakes. Problem is gotta be careful with Montgomery and Gibbs in the mix.

I’d second this motion.
