anyway.
I agree, and what led to the defense failing, what was it 7 three and outs in a row? I dont even like seeing those 350 pound DT's having to sprint in and out of the huddles, but get to the sideline just to go back out there in 5 minutes is tough to do so many times in a row.
It does not take much, but watching Jackson ole a tackle letting the ball carrier fall ahead three yards for the first down would at least lead to getting him pulled for a play or two. But this is a different era where players are catered to. They made Eddie Jackson the highest paid safety in football in his third year. The tone got set at that point. Now its, "It doesnt matter if that other guy is better than me, he got 20 million so I deserve 20 million. We are also at a point in society where it cannot happen anymore. Coach Q couldnt grab a video coach by the throat and beat him senseless in the locker room 10 years ago. This woke world sucks.
And yet Fields has more TD's, though he missed 3 games than Trevor Lawrence this year. And also keep in mind the three missed games when talking DJ's season totals.
People keep talking Tackle, not just you, and I have NO clue why? Braxton is doing fine at LT and we have a rookie at RT... Braxton has gotten better in each of his two seasons so far and no reason to believe he won't be even better next year. Take the best Edge, take another book end wide out opposite DJ or heck, even that TE kid is supposed to be something extraordinarily special... Getting me to watch another, I'm wide open Tonaweful drop on that TD pass ever again, I'm going to cry.
I've always held the view that you can never have too much talent in the trenches, so I wouldn't have a conniption if the Bears used one of those first two picks on the OL. However, I do agree there are needier spots, with DE/Edge and WR being chief amongst them. Of course this is assuming we're holding onto Fields, which frees up both of those two 1sts. If Poles decides to trade him, then a QB will undoubtedly be the 1st chosen. Hopefully he gets a 2nd round pick out of the trade if this is the course he opts to take. This is a deep draft with respect to the various playmaker positions, so there should be some serious talent still on the board well into the 2nd round.
The margin between a bad team and a good team is not that far.
I heard someone defend their stupid picks with Braxton will need to play right guard next year, like you need 6'5 blocking Fields poor reading of the field right in front of him. I am guessing OT is a sexy pick, cannot figure it out either. We have needed a center for 5 years now, it is our greatest need. Pick Harrison with the name and lineage first so he can be our #3 receiver? Definitely not going to be the one until Moore is fed up enough to want out. Mooney had nothing but upside until he got hurt, now it almost feels like eliminating him enough so he wont cost too much. So Harrison more because we wont have any ones left in a couple season is OK.
Kinda what we do here. Draft developmental players and then hire first-time head coaches who don't develop them.
