Give me your top 3

[noonthirtyjoe]

Give me your top 3 things you worry about with this team and your top 3 things you feel good about this team. My top 3 best things. 1. Offensive coaching. 2. WRs as a group. 3 Run game, I love this new kid and think him and Forte will be quite the combo. My top 3 concerns. 1. STs we have shit outside of Robbie. 2. defensive coaching. 3. back up long snapper. (could not resist) So what do you guys like and dislike?

I like yer three "likes".

Dislike the D coaching as well. 2. The unknowns at safety 3. The lack of serious competition at the punter spot

 

[richig07]

Long snapping and punting depth heading into camp CLEARLY top the list. Is it even close?


Then, the LB's, defensive coaching, and the safety position. In no order.

The LB's only because, I love DJ, but he's barely played in two years. Briggs, is obviously great, but at his age sometimes you never comeback from injuries like he suffered last year. Which we already saw, it took twice as long as we had hoped for him to comeback. Then, Bostic/Shea are obviously both question marks.

Don't get me wrong, I could see the LB's being pretty damn good. A lot of it hinges on the D-line play. However, I could also see them being a huge problem.

I believe the punting and long snapper competition has been taken care of. No need to go overboard.


Likes:
1. Offensive Continuity.
2. Defensive upgrades.
3. Special Teams upgrades.

Dislikes:
1. Defensive Backfield
2. Run stopping ability
3. Linebackers

1. Defensive line chemistry. I think and hope it will be OK, but if this experimental "just add ingredients and poof" try doesn't work, the Bears defense will suck again.
2. Linebackers.
3. Injuries to the offensive line.

(3b. an injury to Martellus Bennett.)

oh the above was what I worry about. Top 3 likes?

1. Defensive line has potential to be insanely awesome. Yeah I am worried about downside but the upside of this line is major league.
2. Offensive chemistry in year 2. Seriously, when was the last time a good Bears offense brought back all 11 starters and had the same coaching two years running? Never? Oh yeah, that's right, NEVER!
3. Matt Forte's prospects. I don't know why, I just have this feeling....

I know you say that in jest, but collectively speaking dont take for granted what PM did extremely well for all those years. All those FGs Gould has made starts with a quality snap. Im not saying the above is a top priority...but its easy to get used to seeing what appears to be simple. Little things done well tend to go unnoticed, imo. They add up, and can go a long way towards success. Im not worried about punting- Im sure youll agree that anybody but Podlesh is an upgrade.

I agree with the top 3 likes posted by noon.

Any 3 positions within the front 7 that will be key to keeping rushers from reaching the 2nd level and beyond. That was kind of a problem last year... :rollseyes:

I just hope the defense improves play from last season. Punting hurt us last season at times, I hope we have someone who is the second coming of Maynard, Gardocki, or Parsons

You got the Oline as one of your 3 I see. Me, I'm not sold just yet on the line. Tman's offense gets rid of the ball quickly and I still wonder if that is why we see improvement, or is it because of better players. I just don't know yet. Either way it's much improved but I don't know who should get the credit. Combo maybe? PS. def has to be better. Nowhere to go but up.

Likes: 1) Offensive stability. 2) Upgrades on D. 3) New punter.

Dislikes: 1) Packers. 2) Lions. 3) Vikings. Seriously 1) Health. DL & LB miss time with health. Jay too. 2) Backups. Backup QB and RB could be significant later in the year. 3) Age.
