Hopefully it’s just minor and they keep him out as a precaution for the regular season

Friendly bet? Let’s do it!

Next drive

Lmao. Preseason is the time for overreactions. I expect us to score next drive.

I’m not sure that’s what I’m seeing 3 plays in. A scramble for 1 yard, handoff for 1 yard, incomplete pass and that’s Young looking good?

It’s just the first drive, folks.

I got a good feeling about this one!

My man fell off as the game went on and finished 13/25.

I just want to see pressure on one side, and relieve pressure on the other. It’s hard to evaluate the offense if the line doesn’t show up again. And to do that we need the defense to get off the field often enough for Bryce to get extended drives. I can’t imagine Bryce and the starters play much in week 3 of the preseason so this is the time to let the ones play. I think the Bills said Allen and the 1ns are getting the first quarter plus half the second quarter before coming out.

These South Carolina guys have a bad history of getting injured often in the NFL for us. Byrd, Horn, Shi Smith…

I’d like to see us get pressure on their quarterbacks and give ours some time to throw. That’s it, plus stay healthy.

Minshew will be trade bait for some borderline playoff, QB needy team with an injured starter come deadline time. He’s only on a one year deal, right?

If they can rely on a good defense, strong run game with him and Taylor they could compete this year while dealing with his lumps as he progresses as a passer.

I haven’t seen folks here calling him a bust at all but Mondays are super busy for me so maybe I missed something.

No sir!

You can absolutely critique Fields for an inaccurate screen pass that caused DJ to have to turn for the ball rather than catch it where he is supposed to. The pass to Herbert for the TD had bad blocking. There’s linemen blocking nobody for some of that. If you let a guy go past you it should be to go find a body in the second level to block. I understand you let people by on certain plays to bait them but when you have to have your QB sprint left to make that throw or get clobbered I don’t think all the assignments were nailed on that one. Then look at the downfield blocking and you have EQS running along with his hand on the back of the defenders running alongside them, never blocking them. Props to their oline who ran their man out of bounds on the play, that was solid. But when the rest of the Bears line shows me they are consistently good I’m going to focus on them.

I love Chase. I think I had him graded as the top WR coming out of college I had seen in years. But they had Joe Mixon there to help run the rock and Tee Higgins is no slouch.

I appreciate OP sharing the news and keeping us updated on it throughout.

He’s my favorite YouTube analyst for QBs. Can’t wait to check this out later.

Yet I haven’t bragged once anywhere about Fields this preseason because it was a nothing performance. I’ve only pointed out the Bears line still lets people through easily. There was nothing to take away from the Bears game about Fields. Only positives from DJ and from Herbert. Fields needs to be on the field for more drives for me to get excited about this season for him.

Thanks brothers. But also… holy hell 29. LT Cameron Erving: 47.5 30. LT Larnel Coleman: 46.9 31. TE Hayden Hurst: 43.9 32. LT Ikem Ekwonu: 43.4 33. G Michael Jordan: 34.3

I have nothing against Bryce at all. My question around him was healthy related based on his weight. I also never cared about the height. Anybody we throw out there I’m looking for positives. As far as being spiteful because I preferred we drafted Stroud, I think of Stroud had the same line I’d say the same thing. It wasn’t what I was hoping for. My disappointment stems from us having a beyond experienced staff, upgrades all over on offense from last season, upgrade at QB with a prospect whose only flaw for most folks was his size, and we went out and had a dud. It’s as pure as that. It was a dud performance. Now, we can try to highlight the nicer parts of a turd but I mean, at the end of the day, we got like two first downs, converted no third downs, gained minimal yards and left the field every drive with zero points. It’s hard for me to feel great about that. Was it all his fault? Absolutely not. And maybe we just have different definitions of flashing. Flashing, to me, would be making a throw into a tight window that gets us a first down or a 15+ yard throw. Maybe flashing for you is looking off defenders early in his career. But that’s something I EXPECT from Bryce. His mental score, his leadership and his history told me these are things he would be doing already. He did these things at Alabama, too. I don’t know. I guess my bar for whoever we ended up drafting because of all the pieces around them was going to be different and I got very excited before the start of the game and wanted something to cheer for. And I know it’s just preseason but I haven’t been this excited for a season since 2016 when I thought we’d be on a revenge tour.

Miles Sanders, Hurst, Chark and Theilen are going to put the theory to the test of what is better? A high end #1 and then a big drop in talent at the other positions, or a bunch of good players to spread it out to.

He’s never been great but I’ve never seen him that bad before either.
