Twice on Sunday, baby! Yes

He's shown me way more ability to get it done than anyone we've ever had. The big keys for next year will be deep ball accuracy and release time. He's gonna have to cut sacks in half. He can help his OL grow into it by being quicker.

Fun fact. The last time we beat the Packers, 11 games ago, the score was 24-22 at Lambeau...

Ha, true

He gets lots of tackles because Edmunds doesn't.

Here's the part that resonates with me. I want other teams to know that they've Ben Johnsoned. Pun intended...💪🏈

Yup. There was a time we should have been 5-2 that caused an overreacting mindset. This is an old argument, but continuity, with execution, is the single most important aspect of any OL. It's realistic to think we keep five of our current guys, with adding two via draft and one via FA. With our cap space, I would absolutely sign the best guard available, while drafting the best LOT we can. Top need OL.

And you are willing to sacrifice the best we have over a few games a year. I don't get it...

Same. The thing is, we have the money and we definitely can afford to overspend to ensure it gets better.

At minimum, last year...

I absolutely want Jenkins to be signed as a starter. He's our highest graded OL. Gotta have pedigree drafted to push him and be ready. That's how we get the depth we crave.

Not sure you've read the entire thread. I want Jenkins, but also want to draft someone good enough to take his job...

Of course. If you plan on Jenkins playing seventeen games, that is a pipe dream. We definitely need someone with pedigree ready to take his position. Emphasis on pedigree...

Poles sticks to that pretty well in the first two rounds. Third round he starts toying around for lightning in a bottle. I would like for him to stick to the blue bloods for the first four rounds at minimum. Kiran and the Koala kicker were complete head scratchers, when we had blatant needs on the OL.

Taylor, Shelton and Jenkins. The first two should sign deals that make them easy to cut or trade. Jenkins would be smart to sign an incentive laden deal based on availability.

I'm convinced, more than ever, that Johnson is the guy. I've been watching him on the sidelines. He's fiery, charismatic and cocky. Best of all, he's a complete assassin o of a play caller.

20% bad OL. We have seen enough to know they are both decimated and poorly coached. We've seen enough. 60% bad coaching. Three things: chip blocks are quick and easy. Over helping in the interior causes a reverse effect. Lastly, if Caleb is holding the ball you long and creating sacks, ass meet bench, bench talks to brain via ass. Coaches are the adults in the room. They need to teach him to protect himself. 20% Caleb. He's both tough and stubborn. If he doesn't lose his stubbornness, his toughness will fail him.

I said this weeks ago. They need to extend Poles or fire him. It's the only way it will work...

Ben Johnson isn't even allowed to talk to the Bears during the regular season. At least I think that's the rule...

Yeah, we could have had Bowers and a high offensive tackle, Ladd McConkey, a DT and an OG. Here's to hoping Kiran and Rome become great...🏈

That's cool. I also like Banks better than the other Texas tackle. He's less experienced but a better talent.

I really like this one. Trading back from the seven spot is way easier than nine. Traded back twice and got four second rounders.

How do you see a dime when it's a piss missile three feet over his head? If Rome was supposed to run a post, I can't see it being a dime, because he wouldn't be far enough horizontally. Rome was running more horizontal than vertical. If Rome cut from vertical at a 45° angle and accelerated through the ball, it would still be a high catch, taking him off stride. Not a dime. See and say what you want, I'll argue it was both.

I have to crack on my son on this one. He was OLB and closest to the coach. Coach tells him to tell the D that the O was gonna try to draw them offsides. He's telling at his teammates to watch the ball, then jumped offsides. So embarrassing.

Disagree all you want, I don't think the pass trajectory would have been a completion if Rome continued the route as Caleb wanted. It was high and hot...
