I seen a PFF article and if I remember Massie was the 29th ranked overall OT and I think Leno was a couple slots higher. So that puts both of them in the top 15 at each position. They absolutely can be improvement at that position but how do you do that now with less draft capital and low cap space. I see the possibility that HH develops a couple of players. I think the possibility exists they may be already in the pipeline. They keep Coward on the roster for a reason. Also Willie Beavers and Dejon Allen are resigned to future contracts. I think Coward starts this year and possibility that Allen is being groomed for Longs job when he ends up leaving ( not this year). I'm not sure about Beavers but if we draft a OT and groom him to take over for Leno in 2 years , we would have a inexpensive better oline in 2 years? Am I dreaming?

I dont think we need to put another player down to raise ours up. They all will be good.

Even if they didn't score they would have had a first down within the 5 and run the clock out. Its amazing how one play changes games and SB teams. How many one plays changed our season. That's football.

I agree , you go 12-4 and a bad kicker away from going to the SB, will take any cudos anybody gives us.

I dislike these games, to destructive for continuity, I will be watching.

It's to easy to go to pro bowl when other players decide not to go. Still cudos as was chosen over many players.

Good QBs make bad throws, maybe because I am a Chicago fan that I notice the MT negative comments more. We need MT to improve and he will be on the same level as Mahomes and better than Watson.

Ed Reed is not coaching, it was suggested but this guy has been coaching several years now. They have good reasons for what they do, we will see.

Ya, it gets more complicated going forward, Floyd, Jackson, Cohen, they all come into play.

Will anybody complain if we take Paris Campbell/ WR/ OSU. Our pick is about his draft position value.

I think Joel Iggy is Trevathans replace after next year. We kept 4 CBs on the practice squad. I think between Toliver and them we find a couple of players. Joseph is one to keep an eye on.

I think that the fact they kept him on the roster all year means something. If they let Massie leave without a offer then that suggests they think he's ready. Probably resign Coward for 4 year 9 million . He was a DT , I don't see other teams chasing him. I'm not sure the extra money will go to Gould, he will command 4 mil a year, I think they use it to get Amos or Callahan back. Callahan has injury issues so I don't think they will offer him a valued contract. I think they use the money and go after a FA Slot CB. Haven't look at who is available yet.

With all the shitty OL in the league, I can see him getting a 4 year deal for 8 mil a year , like 15 guaranteed. He is 28 or 29 , and someone will pay him . We look at him as very average but as the 29th overall ranked tackle in the league, he gets some money. Look at all the bears OL we let go that are starting. Condom in Minnesota comes to mind. 2 are starting on Buffalo we let go.

I was reading some stats. We had the 11th ranked OL in the league last year . Massie was ranked 29th overall of all OTs. The last 8 weeks of the season, he was the best pass blocking RT in the league. When people mention Massie , we always say we need to upgrade the position. He has actually been playing well. I think we should resign him for 3 yrs, 20 mil with 10 mil G. So in 2 years we can cut him with no dead money. We draft his replacement or give Coward another year to develop , build up our depth. We should draft a RG-RT to take over what ever spot opens up first. I think with the maturation of Daniel's and Whitehair, the line improves.

Probably a good reason he didn't have the big impact in the playoffs.

Howard is a cheap productive player something we need right now. The best we would get would be maybe a 6 or 7. Look at recent trades RBs, not high picks. Also a strong RB class in the draft. 2 years from now just doesn't matter. Every year takes on a new life when your a successful team, always changing. Hunt has a suspension coming, 6,9, all season. Hunt will be a backup plan. They will sign or draft a RB to be in the mix. RB isn't a weakness but Nagy will want to add more weapons. I will say OL will be addressed first, RT and RG . An injured Long , Coward are risky options, so they will hit the pavement running.

I think with our lack of money , the key will be resigning our own guys. Then we will be replacing those that leave. In order of importance: Callahan Amos Massie RRH Lynch All of the RFA and ERFAs. Because of our success, everyone is going to be making more money. I will say probably only make one decent signing other than our own guys.

If Nagys play calls work, everyone thinks he's a genius. If they don't work everyone questions his sensibility. The truth is , he is going to make mistakes, but the overall decision making is pretty good and will get better the more experience he gets. The reason Cohen didn't have a lot of touches was because the Eagles gameplan was to take him out of the offense and they succeeded. To say Nagy didn't use him enough is a stupid statement.

This year they installed a new offense, so Howard didn't get a large amount of work, that does not mean he doesn't have valve on this team. At 750 thousand, dumb to get rid of him. After Nagy speaking today, I would say Hunt will be on the team next year with some kind of suspension. So he gets here in time for us to make a Super bowl run, perfect.

RB is not a need, upgrading there would be a mi or bump. If BPA turns up a Hunt or Kamaria , a no brainer but OL has questions ( although I think Coward replaces Massie) but a prospect in line to takes Longs place in case of another injury makes a lot of sense. Ss and CBs are always needed especially with a potential loss of Callahan. Lets say BPA ALIGHNS THIS WAY 3- OL 4- OL 6-SS 7CB Add RB prospects in PFAs or FAgency We sighed a OLB out of Canada and Acho will be back with a contract. As much as it sounds out of place,I still see us signing Hunt after a rehab assignment. How many of NFL players get second chances, nearly all of them. Nagy could inspire a new family setting for Hunts future.

I think he has valve on this team, no one is going to give a 3rd or 4th rounder for him. Lucky to get a fifth. We struck gold getting him in the 5th the year we drafted him, hard to find that production in the latter rounds.

We could not control Fangio leaving, Pagano probably most successful candidate out there. I think the personal controls the success of a DC. Fangio didn't have a winning record under Fox. Everything is good.

The oline is a definite need. Long has injury issues and Massie will get paid. I think they need to bring in a new guard but keep Long on a renegotiated contract. , resign Witzmann for another backup. Draft a RT and go with Coward as the starter. That's a big question mark but with the Mack money kicking in we have to have some cheap starters.

I am happy for him. What we have to realize, once you have success, these things happen all the time. That's why it's great to have Nagy in place, the offensive minds are in demand. Donatelli is buddies with Fangio so I can see Vic taking him with him. I suggest the Bears offer him the job with a big pay check as soon as possibly. It would be the best scenario to continue our success with this defense. Remember we have the personal going forward so that should attract qualified candidates.

For some reason, Nagy likes Mizzell a lot. I don't get it , if there is a prize RB at one of our draft spots , they will absolutely draft one . That does not mean Howard is gone , will take Benny Cs spot.
