Alaskan Grizzly

I remember him now. Remember the RBs running drills during camp and noted he had really fast feet and tree trunks for thighs. Highlights here show he does pretty good as a catching back and mostly is a North / South runner. I’d like to see what he can offer.

Was just about the post that too. And among some other roster moves they cut Xavior Woods, which is quizzical to me. With Bryant out for a bit longer who will play opposite Thieneman; Elijah Hicks or Skyler Thomas? Edit: Biggs says Cam Lewis will be safety opposite Thieneman https://www.chicagobears.com/_mobileview/news/chicago-bears-announce-roster-moves-october-17-2026?hidebanner=true&adobe_mc=TS%3D1792263692%7CMCMID%3D05256117061159766471400771852550346093%7CMCORGID%3DF75C3025512D2C1D0A490D44%40AdobeOrg

I was wrong about seeing RoJo fill in. He’s no good. Can see why Ben has been keeping him low on the totem pole. Would rather see preseason darling Ahmed give it a crack - as backup.

Practice report for today. Good and bad. Defense is a mess with Edwards and possibly Sweat out. I would say possibly because of Stevenson too but if Muhammad is next man up there, I’d like to see how he does. No Monangai ☹️and both Gordon and Caleb “Questionable” after practicing all week.

I did read that somewhere, I believe so.

Rumors are Sweat is appealing his suspension. Which, according to reporters, is odd given decisions are made usually after any appeals. Some say he is on a type of prescription med that may show hot on tests. More to come perhaps. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bears-montez-sweat-may-reverse-230351450.html

In the ‘positive news’ department; Caleb and Gordon were listed as FULL participants for today’s practice.

Thanks for that. Couldn’t help but notice about halfway down the article the author mentioned “Gervon Dexter and D’Marcus Walker could face more attention from opposing offensive lines.” I know Dexter is gone but isn’t Walker too?

Maybe an Adam or you question, or anyone keen on how NFL contracts work. Read yesterday that because of this incident the Bears aren’t tied to any of his contract “guarantees” anymore. Meaning, or at least the way I understood it, he could be expendable next year at low risk to the team.

Saw something pop up about his injury recovery being more like 4-6 months as if it was a new update. Has his status changed from what we previously knew? Penix is currently “day to day” with his rib injury. He says he’ll be ready for week 6. There’s definitely a different level of play when he’s in vs Tua. Of course Bijan is having a massive year so yeah…

Out for two games for using PEDs. Some will say he must’ve been getting the placebo and didn’t know it. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50176333/bears-de-sweat-suspended-two-games-violating-ped-policy

Yeah they suddenly become very one dimensional with Penix out. We’d probably be in big trouble if he were to play. Meanwhile the our opponent for the following week, NE, put a big hurt on LV yesterday in their solid win. It appears Maye has figured out whatever was ailing him early on. We’ll need to have our collective ducks in a row to do well in that one.

Well they won’t be able to do like last year and come from behind to win a majority of their games. They need to play like they did against Carolina and stick with it. That day the defense wasn’t quite up to par but since then they’ve made some improvements. Remember today they lost three of their starters and kept getting put in bad positions because of the repeated turnovers. And still they were in it until late in the game. when Caleb returns the offense will look better overall. I'm just hoping he doesn’t feel like he needs to run out of the pocket every time. They can be a great offense. Until today they were leading in many categories, and that was with their #2 and #3 QBs.

This game reminds me a lot of last years shellacking in Detroit on week 2 (52-21 loss). Think Johnson had a bit of a chip on his shoulder to beat his old mentor and was sent packing. Here he had an axe to grind with LeFleur and lost focus on strategy. Good thing was after last years 0-2 start he began making wiser choices and the team followed suit. Hopefully we’ll see the same here. Atlanta is definitely a team on the rise.

Honestly I feel the Bears would have still lost even with Caleb in. Would’ve been closer but still a loss. Everything was just ‘off’. Agree that Johnson needs to focus more on the games and less on making locker room motivation.

Last TO was it for me. First time I’ve turned off a game before end of regulation in a long time. See ya all next week. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Bagent HAS to come out. He pulled Swift for doing less. 2 ints in one game and you have to be freaking kidding me.

Was just thinking that. Seems he’s been calling a bunch of bonehead plays while sticking with what is a cold hand on Bagent. Defense is trying to keep them in the game but the offense…pffft .

Booker playing like he’s heard the rumors of Mack coming back. Lol. That last series for him was BEAYOOOTIFUL. Especially that second sack coming off a double team. Motor running! Way to end the half fellas.

Something is off about Swift. Looking good for the most part but after that last scoring run he just wasn’t in it. He still dealing with that knee?

That last scramble by Bagent followed by a flopping duck pass. Just … wow. 🤯

Yup. Signing those three former 1st rounders last week has really helped their line play.

Last week Johnson was all about accountability when Swift fumbled. Bagent threw four ints last week and still got the start today. And comes into today’s game with a slip and fall while scrambling followed by an INT . If Bagent doesn’t come alive on this next series he needs to sit.

Dude… he doesn’t even look confident. Just standing there.

If run effectively, the zone run (especially outside zone) can make just about any RB a 1,000 yarder. Mike Shanahan was the best at it when he coached Denver.
