Different situation. Alshon was one of our few homegrown stars and the #1 wr on the team. Pace let him walk and signed a bunch of injury-prone guys in his place.Alshon Jeffery?
It certainly seems like they have the biggest field issues. I'm not sure why. They replace the sod plenty of times. I wonder if it has to do with it still being real sod and not artificial.travdogg said:A big part of the problem with Bears injuries, is that they play on the crappiest field in the NFL. Its amazing the NFL hasn't stepped in at some point. Dozens of players, both Bears and visitors alike, complain about it every year, and yet nothing happens.
I don't have any stats in front of me, but I'd be willing to bet more knee/ankle/foot injuries occur on that field than any other in the NFL.
That's it. There's no reason for them not to go to the rubber ball stuff now. Seems like common sense.It's certainly seems like they have the biggest field issues. I'm not sure why. They replace the sod plenty of times. I wonder if it has to do with it still being real sod and not artificial.
All I heard about Cruz was he's flashing some great hands.Giants fan here. How is my guy Cruz looked so far in training camp?
Also checking in on a couple NC State Alum. Glennon and Willie Young. How are they doing?
Sounds like Miller could be cut or some kind of trade bait. Not sure on what trade value he has. Shaheen has looked great and I'm guessing Sims will be the other guy for sure.What's the TE situation, a podcast I listen to was speculating that Miller could be cut .
What's your guess on who starts? Sims has great efficiency metrics.Sounds like Miller could be cut or some kind of trade bait. Not sure on what trade value he has. Shaheen has looked great and I'm guessing Sims will be the other guy for sure.
Probably Sims right away with Shaheen getting some reps.What's your guess on who starts? Sims has great efficiency metrics.
Red zone is where Shaheen will be getting looks. Huge target, great hands and mismatch.Probably Sims right away with Shaheen getting some reps.
With the athleticism he has he really can be used anytime. Sounds like he's catching anything thrown near him. If he can continue that then it's just a matter of being a stout blocker which it seems he's done well with so far.Red zone is where Shaheen will be getting looks.

Panthers will take another productive TE if you want to gift wrap anotherSounds like Miller could be cut or some kind of trade bait. Not sure on what trade value he has. Shaheen has looked great and I'm guessing Sims will be the other guy for sure.
As long as they're willing to give the Bears something for him it sounds good to me. Trading for an aging, injury prone TE doesn't sound like a smart move but I've seen worse moves.Panthers will take another productive TE if you want to gift wrap another
I was pumped Glennon was out and we finally get to see Trubisky.... and Mark Sanchez comes in instead.If they keep Sanchez in there past halftime, which sounds like something am idiot like Fox would do, it will be just more of the same
Trubisky has been running with the 3s so I expected Sanchez coming in second. But then Fox said before the game the 2s would play into the 4th. Regular numb nuts thing Fox does. Trubisky better come in early 3rd.I was pumped Glennon was out and we finally get to see Trubisky.... and Mark Sanchez comes in instead.
Fox knows holding Trubisky out of the game until late is the only way to keep butts in the seats.flapgreen said:Trubisky has been running with the 3s so I expected Sanchez coming in second.

Probably a little of both but doesn't really matter. In his first drive in NFL, he took a 2 minute drive for a td. That's a fantastic start.Was that against Denver's 2nd or 3rd D?
Definitely. He's looking really good. Very accurate and mobile.Probably a little of both but doesn't really matter. In his first drive in NFL, he took a 2 minute drive for a td. That's a fantastic start.
