Mr. Scot

Technically it was what Mike Shula was doing, and it really only took one game. Hell, even 2015 wasn't as good as people reminisce it was. The formula that year was basically to build a lead in the first half then pray like hell we didn't lose it by game's end because our coaching staff had no idea how to make adjustments. By the following season, we couldn't even do that. That didn't change till Nov arrived, but again...too late.

Figured out how we were using him, yeah. Turner tried transitioning him to something different, and it probably could have worked but by that time it was too late.

Things that work at those levels don't necessarily work at the pro level. As it was, we got one great season and a bunch of decent to mediocre ones. As soon as other teams figured out how to counter what we were doing in 2015, we had no answers.

If we're going to sign a free agent, I'd prefer somebody like Andrew Norwell or Dalton Risner.

If all Rivera had done was play to Newton's strengths, I'd approve of that. What Rivera actually did was take the Buddy Ryan approach and basically expected Newton to be the offense while he concentrated on the defense. This combined with insufficient protection helped shorten Newton's career.

Shocking

Can't agree with that. Bryce Young's development being in the hands of Ron Rivera would give me nightmares.

That's a fan thing. It hardly ever happens in the real NFL.

Steve Mariucci and Michael Robinson are ripping the hell out of Trey Lance. Actually said Sam Darnold played better.

We're recovering from Matt Rhule. That's as bad as anything else we've had.

Checked out the Cowboys game. Will Grier was looking sharp. Also saw 5'5 Deuce Vaughn (the scout's son) make an impressive 26 yard run and score a rushing TD just a few plays later. I'm rooting for the kid.

Polian and Reich are friends and talk regularly . He attended practice with Sirius XM back in early August.

Yeeeeaaahhh, no It was never gonna be that.

Not so sure. Since they cut the fourth game, Preseason Two tends to be the "dress rehearsal" game where the starters play the most snaps. Depends on whether we follow that script, I suppose.

Posted elsewhere but it fits here... Violence and explicit language? Yeah, but...

And there's good reason for it, especially after only one game.

Preseason One is waaaayyy too early to be jumping to those kind of conclusions.

Thought I saw where the Bears were talking to him, but I can't find it. Dalton Risner is out there too, I believe .

Could be worse...
