Should be the case but then again we have seen the mistakes - guys forgetting to report on offensive plays, offensive lineman fumbling at the goaline, misuse of timeouts and “star” QB running for his life. Actually think it will be an entertaining game, but in the end…
I've been struggling to wrap my head around that. Is it because Caleb is nervous and has to take nearly a full half to calm down? Is the playcalling terrible until adjustments can be made in the 2nd half? Are there other reasons this could be happening with different coaches/OCs etc?
I blamed Waldron initially because the slow starts were a problem before the losing streak. After shuffling coaches it's still a problem, but the consistent is Caleb. I dont know where the disconnect is either, but Caleb always seems to elevate his game when the Bears go to a no huddle, fast pace offense. I wish they would come out that way and start firing from the jump.
Rivera definitely gets credit for growing on the job (Riverboat Ron).
Some massive needs.Well, at least we have another top 10 pick as of now.
They definitely need to get the Eberflus stink out of the building by firing everyone associated with him. Dude led a very lax culture at practice and in the film room and it shows. The Bears really need a cult of personality type of coach who can bring renewed energy to the good players already rostered.
The Pete Carroll rumors make no sense. They need a younger offensive mind
Not sure they will have a lot of choices with the front office they have. Booting Poles would be a good start.
I hadn't seen those rumors. I will burn all my Bears gear if Pete Carroll becomes head coach. A 73 year old head coach just doesn't have the zeal and energy to make the cultural changes that need to be made in Halas Hall.
Ben Johnson would bring some excitement, although hard to know how he would perform as a head coach. Also think he is going to wait until the right front office fit comes along. Heck, he is young enough where he could wait for Andy Reid to retire (not to say KC would give him the job, but he has time to be picky).
Agreed. He holds the cards career-wise and I'm sure his salary is above the league average 1.5mil for coordinators. I THINK he's been with Dan Campbell long enough to know the importance of creating a real football culture in the locker room.
He's one of the favorites to be the next HC hired in the NFL.
I like where you're going with the 1st 4 picks. Obviously this is super early in the rookie eval process, but here's what I'd like to see. I'd prefer to see a 2nd OG taken at #40 or possibly an OC if one vaults up the rankings a bit (Wilson, maybe?).
Its always hard to guess what rounds 2 and 3 look like. Bears have to go Trenches with their first 2-3 picks, and while I'd like 3x OL, I think its just too much youth for one season.
Agreed. I think a lot hinges on what defensive scheme the new HC/DC uses. For sure, we won't be in a 4-2-5 on 80% of plays anymore. That means we'll need more help at LB and DT.
Allen was a good addition for Caleb this year, but I think his money would be better spent elsewhere. He's going to want one last pay day and might even want a contender. Guessing he'll ask for 17-19 mil per year range. I'm ok letting him walk and getting Kmet more involved. Its a travesty how the Bears used Kmet this year. The whole TE room in fact. Gerald Everatt is a very good TE2 who has averaged 400 yards and 3TDs a season and he has 36 yards with the Bears. Heck, I could replace that production.
Usage of Kmet was one of the biggest fails this season.
Johnson isn't coming here if Poles is here. He'll go to a much better situation in Jacksonville. Keeping Poles sends a terrible message. Just says we're not serious about winning.
Welcome back Flap. Same **** show as always.
Is Jax that much better of a landing spot for Johnson? They have an awful defense, exactly 1 WR who's worth a crap, an ancient pass catching TE who has seemingly missed more games than he's played and a below average (PFF grade) OL. Baalke has blown some really high draft picks and the front office seems slow to react to incredibly poor performance.
If he gets his choice of GM (instead of Poles), then yes, it is a much better landing spot for him.
Similarly talented roster but they have an owner who wants to win and will do what it takes.
It should only be 1 slot. I'm happy for the W. Needed that monkey off the back, even if it was a cheapened win.Well, that's 5 slots or so that they just lost. Good job guys.
This. Plus F the Packers!It should only be 1 slot. I'm happy for the W. Needed that monkey off the back, even if it was a cheapened win.Well, that's 5 slots or so that they just lost. Good job guys.
Caleb is fun to watch late in the 4th. His other 3.5 quarters is trash.
Lot of talent there. Should get two immediate starters on OL and DT if they don’t botch it
Both DTs from Michigan are beasts. I don't think they'll be there at 10 though. Will Campbell is a possibility at OT, but who knows if he'll be there?
Agree 100%. Poles would trade pieces of that draft capital for risky players
I just don't understand why we're looking at so many DCs...unless they plan to keep Thomas Brown on as the OC for some Caleb continuity. That sounds like a recipe for disaster, though.
Agree and in addition - request as well to interview Broncos DC
I read this morning that Glenn is likely signing with NO.
