If they trade them both that D is going to get straight LIT UP. They're already bad and the only thing keeping them from being utterly atrocious is that pair of edge rushers.

Like I said earlier, I think they might be getting ready to make the switch from Rivera to Bieniemy.

(less emphasis on defense, more on offense)

I've been saying for weeks now they need to just cancel Rivera and give Bieniemy a test drive.

He has to quit his bad habit of completely abandoning the run. His OL sucks at pass protection and Howell is getting beat to poo. The kid is tougher than a $2 steak but damn... at some point the body will break.

OL play across the league pretty much sucks so I don't see anyone trading viable offensive linemen. You have a handful of good offensive lines and the rest of the league is varying levels of suck.

27 y/o Sweat instead of a 2nd rounder next year is nice for Chicago.  They can go full offense with the 2 firsts for a new coach.  

He's only under contract through the end of this season.

To keep him, they'll need to work out an extension or maybe franchise him.

I think they had discussions with him already on an extension before making the deal official. And franchise tagging him probably get him for cheaper for one season than a new contract would have.

Possible. Don't know yet.

Common complaint I've heard from Bears fans is that Poles won't extend their own players but is willing to trade away draft picks for players on expiring contracts.

This may or may not turn out to be an example of that.

This, Jamo or Jalen Johnson would be an excellent forward-thinking move. Probalby comes down to assets going out from Carolina, which will most likely be too expensive for us.

Still holding out hope that TMJ + 4th gets us a reuniting of Bryce and Jamo Williams.

Probably because they aren't "Poles Players" since he just joined. So all these guys on the team are from a previous regime and none are up for extensions yet.

Does that matter if they're still good players though? Jaylon Johnson certainly isn't a bad player.

Roquan Smith is one of the names mentioned in these complaints.

The vikings are fuging stupid.  With the injuries they have and Cousins walking its damn near criminal that they dont just roll with Hall and target a qb in the draft.    This is the stupid type of moves from front offices that drive me bonkers.  WTF do they really think dobbs is going to bring 8 weeks into the season?

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
