Any scenario where Rashad Cowherd does not start at RG helps us immensely. Reverse the dominos that got us there and you'll have more faith...?

This year, they should have a choice of a clear way to help. When the entire right side couldn't perform lest year due to injury and terrible replacements, three is no way to provide help for Leno or replace him. So, we signed a swing tackle and a starting guard. That plus leaving Daniels and Whitehair alone will solidify the right side and place Leno in the crosshairs. Her can easily be helped on passing downs with chip and release from the TE or RB positions. We definitely aren't where I would like us to be OL wise, but we are way better off than last year.

That's what winning franchises do. Wish we had that OL problem

Why would they let him go? Are they cap strapped?

I'll take 10-6...

My hope is that Foles is the great teammate everyone says he is. Hope x2 is that he can remind Nagy of his roots.

Agreed. If he lights it up, we win regardless of a few million. When you look at the value, it brings back tens of millions in value.

I hope they read everyone of them. Plaster them on the locker room walls.

Here's another topic for the state of the bears. Nobody in the national media has us rated in the top 20. Let that sink in. We have a championship caliber defense, which is half of the equation. So they think our offense is going to be so bad that it will drag our top 3 defense to 22 in team rankings. That's ESPN, SI, NFL, CBS and the Sporting News. They all hate our team and we went 8-8.

Hyperbole...

I know what tenacity means. Rudy was the epitome of the definition.(and the chicken hawk when he was after Foghorn, oh and Wile E Coyote) I'll take skill and instinct in a safety over tenacity. I prefer my road runner under glass.

You lost me at tenacity. How does tenacity prevent injury? Or did I read it wrong?

Definitely love the mauler mentality. NFL defensive linemen will steal his lunch money though. He has a good two years of work to do before he can even make a practice squad, IMO.

Just watched the video. He has two good qualities, strength and mean streak. After that, he has no speed and the lateral agility of Frankenstein's monster. Unless they can unlock his hips, he'll be absolutely useless.

Don't hurt me. I was starting to feel better...?

Many on this board, me included, felt that Pace had a great opportunity to trade down a net us a few extra picks. Seems like that opportunity was available at both picks and Pace stood pat. My guess is that got what they hoped for all along. Would you have drafted differently? Do you believe these players were exactly what Pace wanted at those slots? https://www.si.com/nfl/bears/news/bears-gm-ryan-pace-liked-picks-too-much-to-trade-down

Thank you! I needed a voice of reason.

I could never imagine Eric Reid as a Bear. He's a good football player, but...

Ifedi and Spriggs have lost their pedigree. They better come in in -shape and hungry. Leno must be put on notice. He has to work his ass off to be average. Will cast offs be enough to motivate him? I'd be smoking a cigar right now if I were him.

Nor did we draft anyone that can merely challenge him, let alone motivate.

Kenny Willekis, Trey Adams

I was getting sarcastic did to my wanting OT early.
