Oh yea, he was in the league a long time...

Watching NFL Network today. Brian Baldinger is there. He was saying that pre-draft Darnell Wright was his number one tackle prospect. He raved about how heavy handed he is and that he's just a naturally big thick dude.

He actually kept his family here while he played in SF. He's really good on the radio. He's on with Waddle and Silvey on Friday afternoon.

Robbie Gould is doing work at ESPN 1000 and says he's ready whenever called. He wants to finish raising his family here.

That's important, especially with trust. Justin can let it rip sooner if he trusts his target.

Great work on this. You did forget Pettis at WR, who I still like over ESB. But, it ain't that deep. Also, you have the starting OG positions switched up. Other than that, great stuff!

It's definitely true. Flus and Rod are best buds. I think Flus also mentioned Gus Bradley as reference. I have no clue why nobody wants to lock a perennial 9 sack guy down. Might be us at mid season...

Another point of good news, Rod Marinelli personally vouched for Ngakoue.

If true, that is great news. He's the first.

Ngakoue is a one dimensional player, but what he does, he does as good as anyone. He's rumored to be a locker room dick, but not a cancer. For one year, at this price, I'll take him...

You forgot the owner and Mr irrelevant and his 107 QBR

Not really, IMO. (Tag, draft, FA) If a guy knows he's the dog, then nothing will sway his option of himself. If a guy knows everyone around him sucks, like last year's DL, he may feel secure for a season but knows a reckoning is coming. There are twice as many guys on the cusp of making it compared to those that already have. This creates a dog eat dog environment.

I love this form of training for several reasons, but I'll only give two. 1) It gives the young guys the confidence of knowing they can do it. 2) It lets the starter know that the young guy can do it...

I'm totally in on this if Justin can throw quickly. We just haven't seen it yet.

Jurko interviewed Flus today and asked about Davis. Flus said he has no worries and Davis will be there soon. Davis has a reputation of not wanting to practice, but they knew that when they signed him. My guess is that he's inside conditioning with a personal trainer.

Saw an interview with Poles and Scott Pioli today. Pioli asked about Wright and scouting process. Poles went on to talk about the workout that he and our OL coach put Wright through was grueling. Toward the end, Wright told Poles, "I'll never f'n quit on you!". Poles said that that gave him goosebumps. I love that shit!

https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/6L33a9aeVxV8 This is an article from The Athletic. I hope you can open it. It's an expert panel's rankings of NFL QB's. Justin is 21...

Steve McMichael has made the top 12 for the NFL Hall of Fame, senior group. Another for will take place in a week or two. I know Halas Hall and the crew at ESPN1000 are pulling all their strings to help him. From his recent picture, he won't be there to give a speech. It sure would be heart warming for him to know before he goes.

I don't know why I like Pettis more than ESB. ESB has him beat on measurables at 6'5 and runs a 4.4, while Pettis is 6'0 and 4.3. With Moore, Mooney, Claypool and Kmet getting the lion's share of reps, where does a good blocker fit in? Add Tonyan and Velus and where is room for another receiver? At the end of the day, it's a good situation to be in. These conversations are gonna be crazy, next year, with the depth we'll have...

???The idiot that ranked the idiot...?

Who's this idiot?

We've all stated that Justin is the key to the offense, which is undeniable. Beyond that is the big IF. IF Claypool is the guy we brought him in him to be, the offense will, theoretically, be unstoppable on paper. The reason it's Claypool instead of Moore, is the freak factor. Claypool can take so much pressure off of everyone else, because he must be accounted for, because of his unique abilities. DJ will get HIS regardless. Unlocking the entire field is with Chase. With that we should see amazingly balanced stats. I see Kmet as an ascending player in our offense. How much more room will be have to operate, now that so many weapons can soften the middle of the field, by stretching the deep third? That's where Kmet and Tonyan live. Our running back room is better than last year, so their collective YPC and YPG should go up. With the OL, OMG I'm excited. Let's pump the brakes on immediate pass pro success though. It's gonna take time and preseason will not do it. I expect an opening day grind fest with the Packers, with both teams challenging each teams collective manhood, to impose will and take over the game. With the WR group, I don't expect gaudy numbers. If you look back at what Rodgers did in his last couple of MVP seasons, it was the TD to INT rate and completing percentage that was ridiculous. He didn't challenge the record books for yards and TD's. My expectation for the WR group is that they make plays when called upon to do so. It may be to pick up 9 when we need 8. It may be to make great blocks in the run game. It will definitely be to stretch the field when the defense comes up. And occasionally win the jump ball catches. Stats for this team, this year, would be ideal if we can average: 34 min TOP, 66% comp, 4.9 YPC, 16 first downs and a 2-1 INT/TD rate. Stat predictions: Justin: 3400 yds passing 25 TD, 700 rush 10 TD with 14 INT. Backs should account for 1900 rushing with 15 TD. TE's should account for 95 rec for 950 yards and 8 TD. WR's should get around 170 receptions for 2200 yards and 14 TD.(backs will get the remainder) Most importantly, in all of this, is that Justin will only get sacked 30 times this year, with 10 of them being on him. This should be the most balanced offense the Bears have EVER had. Toward the end of the season, it should be the most explosive.

This is what we were begging for back when we knew Pace was a lame duck. We got exactly what we wanted and need in Poles. If we don't sign a veteran, so be it. Just use the money to extend core players and stay in a great cap situation.

It's cool that we can disagree on it, but also agree on the more important issue, in that was a good athletic play. I remember a play, last year, when it took ESB four yards to to cut back. In that time, it only took the DB two yards for a result of a pick.

Same here! I'm rooting for the kid. Steve Smith kinda called him out today, saying "looks like Tarzan", but he failed to say "plays like Jane", but he was going there. Hopefully, this all motivates claim to full potential and he stays there. My fear, is that he's fighting for a contract, then f'k all after that. I really am rooting for him and that he is a long term Bear...
