I've heard this stated a number of times. Maybe it's my Bears losing fatigue talking, but I see it rather differently. For starters, both sides of the QB debate make really compelling points, at least IMO. So whichever way they choose to go, there's no way to say "it was really the only reasonable option" as many would use for keeping JF1 if we didn't have such a high #1 pick. And if it goes the wrong way, that could be really, really bad. Way worse than Trubisky vs. Mahomes. While people say we're in this amazing spot because of the #1 pick, it feels like the expectation for future success ..read more

Hall - Baylor - Great Day 1. Was absolutely winning every Rep quickly and easily - albeit with the same move (A Nice Arm Over). Looks the Part. OL adapted on Days 2 and 3 and he didn't look as good PSU - Issac - Looks like he could be an excellent 3-4 OLB - Does he have size to be 4-3 DE? Speed to Power with some bend. In Team Drills - Back to back plays where he just instantly and clearly destroyed the BYU "Tackle". Hassan Reddick? Fiske - Good initial quickness, solid hands, solid enough power, Looks like Good Motor. Helped himself. I kept getting shades of Harrison Phillips? But not sure ..read more

as we head into the draft and free agency period, there is of course going to be lots of attention on the $$$ involved ... as a regular person, who worked a real job to earn a decent retirement, these numbers bandied about are sometimes difficult to wrap one's head around ... and with voidable years and option years, those numbers may not mean what we think they do there are also differing arguments among the "experts" as to which part of a contract is the actual meat and potatoes and which parts are fluff or distractions, or numbers never to be reached ... it is intentionally meant to distra ..read more

OT - Houston - Paul Huge Frame, Long Arms. Project. Didn't really use his arms very well And usually let the DL dictate the Rep in 1 on 1s. He wasn't losing every rep and seemed to have solid strength and feet. Good bloodlines (think his brother plays for Washington?). But he's a project and I didn't love the manner. It's ok for a Tackle to be "Patient" (Can every be a great trait). But he was more Passive than anything. Passivity is a Bad Trait and that is one that is IMHO Hard to Coach away from v. OT - Guyton Oklahoma - Another guy who absolutely looks the Part, Absolutely crazy good feet ..read more

Looks like he will be tagged for now to give more time to work out a long term deal? Statistics: Posted by dplank — Tue Mar 05, 2024 2:27 pm — Replies 3 — Views 28 ..read more

I'm of course talking about my inbox OVERFLOWING with people BEGGING me to publish this year's sauerkraut barrel. Who even knew that our inboxes here have a limit!?!?! I keep deleting messages and it keeps filling up again, this is INSANE guys. A sampling: "If you dont publish your barrel now I'm logging off forever!" "Your barrel is a light in the darkness..." "Yogi's too scared this year to post a picnic basket and I dont even know where to begin parsing this year's draft class..." "Seriously Rusty, if you just applied yourself you could easily be GM for half the teams in the league ..read more
