Snap Counts and Upgrades

Recommended Posts

Here are the Bears snap count leaders on offense and defense for the season. If you could replace two players per unit, who would they be? On offense, I feel like our weakness was still our offensive line. Just based on the eyeball test, Massie seemed like the weak link on that unit. The only other "proclaimed starter" that I would get rid of would be Sims. Where else is there a blatant upgrade on offense, in terms of starters?

On defense, if feels like the D-Line could use an upgrade outside of Hicks and Goldman. The only other upgrades I could see are at CB and SS (if Amos goes). 

I think we need an infusion of youth and talent on special teams. Keep Scales, but I would look to upgrade our kicking. Mega-Punt never lived up to his billing and Parkey has been obviously very inconsistent. If we can get two new kickers, let's do it.

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.
