Give this one a day or three to percolate. Peters will solidify a position for a little while. They still need another starting OT. I'm starting to believe Fields is the only option and I didn't want it to be that way.

Quinn did the basics of his job, but should have trusted the corner more. Ogletree was late. Jackson is the same pu$$y he was last year.

Agreed! Today please...

Perspective...?

Biggest thing in a Bears uniform since Ted Washington.

I've waited to post to see if they'd get someone else in here. Ok, so we signed Jason Peters. What's next? We need another tackle. Peter's was slated to play right guard last year for Philly, because they replaced him at LT. He had to move back to LT due to injury. He played ok, but got hurt and only played 8 games. He's a future HOF, but he's 39. Let's go to Ifedi. He's missed all of training camp because of a conditioning drill. I don't trust that at all. He's a marginal player anyway, so just cut him and sign Russell Okung. I'm sick of this crap. Get someone in here now.

I don't like the silence about Jenkins, but I do like what they are doing with him. He missed the last three games of the season last year with a lumbar strain. That's exactly what he's dealing with now. The bears are holding him out and taking it slow, like any back issue should be handled. They are more than likely retraining his core in an attempt to salvage his future, because if he is in and out, out will win. I'm glad they are handling of the way they are and am also hopeful they can fix his issue.

I wouldn't stress about it. That's a thing they do in camp. Notice how every kick was returnable. They place the greatest amount of stress on them so they can evaluate.

When Fields entered the game the offense was completely out of rhythm. It stayed that way through his first couple drives. After that I saw three plays I really liked. Of course I loved his TD run, but Mitch could have done that. The first play I liked was one where he was rolling to the right and patiently hit the receiver that was breaking free. Two was his long run. Only two players in the NFL make that run, Fields and Lamar Jackson. The only difference, Lamar would've scored, yet Fields just glides at that speed. Third was the TD to James. When you show elite arm strength and it looks effortless as you are rolling right and throwing left. Impressive. I know it's only preseason, but I have a feeling the game is going to really slow down for him at a rapid rate. Great debut.

Bout time. Okung is waiting for a payday around 12 mil. I'm not sure he's worth that with his health concerns. If we can get him for 8, expect a Graham or Ifedi cut. James is looking good in camp, so Graham is an overpriced luxury. Once they see what they really need to upgrade or where they know they are set, we will see a move or two.

Completely agree. I was on the Carmen and Jurko show a couple of weeks ago stating the exact same point. They both wanted Fields and I pointed the OL and lack thereof. Jurko has since sided with me.

I'm looking for Graham to be a surprise cut in order to sign LT help. Look for Okung or Peters, maybe both.

I watched NFL Network today and they were at Bears camp. Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson impressed the heck outta me. Barring injury, we gotta ink Robinson to a deal. Mooney has been breaking ankles in his routes.

I'm not usually the one to play Chicken Little but, it's time to act...

Love Parcells, but this is out of context. We don't need a veteran to replace Jenkins. We need that veteran to help ensure Jenkins has the time and ability to succeed. The last thing our team or Jenkins needs is to be placed in a position to fail when not ready. A veteran only stabilizes a fragile situation and gives added confidence to a team that already has uncertainties.

Jenkins needs reps. If he doesn't get them, there unsigned guys out there that will absolutely be better.(also better than anyone we have) Eventually, is next year. If Fields is to be developed quicker, he will need to have starts this year. I don't want that to occur if the shit show is happening up front.

Not even close. Youth and strength is not equal to the experience Leno has. Jenkins needs training camp to meet, then exceed Leno.

What about Russell Okung?

Sorry, but for now, it is an enormous problem. Jenkins has zero experience playing left tackle in the NFL and needs these valuable reps. Pedigree means nothing now. The offense will have to be dummied down to provide assistance by lining a TE or chipping a back. And trust me that Justin Fields development will be slowed, as Nagy will not put him in a regular season game until the OL has settled. That fact that there is no serviceable backup is the elephant in the room.

C'mon man! Do you think he lost his youth and skill? He's 32. You are talking about the same guy that lead the Eagles to a Superbowl won over the evil empire. And who was the OC? You got it, Frank Reich. The Colts are loaded and ready.

Wentz doesn't have that kinda clout. He could possibly be out for the season and the other 3 QB's in Colts camp have zero NFL game snaps.

Gotcha. Thanks! I paid today as well.

Add that it would be a tremendous blessing to get a pick and millions off the books. Maybe we could afford for a legit backup left tackle.

I gave you my keepers.
