Stinger226 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Alford is the new signee at WR. Not a big guy but has speed. I think they will throw him on the outside and let him run to loosen up the tight d on the run game and underneath wr routes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Is he on the practice squad or main roster? If he is on the main roster, I presume that means we are not elevating Gentry from practice squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Is he on the practice squad or main roster? If he is on the main roster, I presume that means we are not elevating Gentry from practice squad. What I read (Chicago Sun-Times) was that along with the signing of Alford that they were also expecting the promotion of Gentry from the Practice Squad to the main roster. Nothing confirmed but it sounded like they were pretty certain. Alford is fast, running the 40-yard dash in 4.32 and 4.27 seconds at his pro day in 2015. (per the Sun-Times).

He joins the practice squad and Tanner gets his shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Whatever happened to Randle? He seemed to be playing ok and thought he made the final 53. *edit: never mind, went IR then released. Of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Good luck on Alford since he ran the same routes at West Va. as White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were just throwing darts at the board and hope one sticks. I think it turns around when Wheaton comes back. The deep threat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deep threat Wheaton is a more proven player then White ever was, so getting him back should actually enhance the WR corps (from where we stood last week).

So your saying IF he returns we would be a step above a D3 college program of a wr Corp lol. Sure Wheaton is more proven than white. But is that what we are hanging out hat on. Wheaton is another guy who has struggled with injuries in the past and ever since joining us. I hope it's a step up but at this point who really knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there are some D1 teams who have better talent in their receiving corps than the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
