Surprise contributors this season...

[beardown07]

Tanner Gentry
Roy Robertson-Harris


I think they both make the squad, and I think they both get some playing time and make contributions.

Tanner can play special teams as well. Rob-Harris played about as well as any defensive player. I like them both.

I was hoping to see more from the rookie TE, but he was limited for whatever reason.

I think a year or so with NFL strength and conditioning coaches and that kid will be a beast to be reckoned with.

Let's hope so, Miller is injury prone it seems....we need a great TE.

Miller's a beast when healthy, and I think Sims can be a stud too. We are actually pretty stacked at TE tbh

 

[leomaz2]

I liked the little I've seen of Sims this preseason. We need one to step up and be a consistent threat down the middle of the field and in the run game.

I am hoping to see if Eddie Jackson makes the team

Don't sleep on UDFA WR Tanner Gentry, PFF projects him as a starter. • r/CHIBears

PFF projects Gentry as an NFL starter, and believes he is a steal.

I had no idea he ran a 4.4. He looks impressive.

He's been running with the 1's and been our main punt returner. Pretty safe to say that he's made it.

I think he was a good draft pick and he has nothing but potential.

On another board I post on. Every body is talking about how much we're going to use our 3 TE personnel package in the red zone, now that Meredith is hurt.

Sims/Miller/Shaheen
Howard
Then a slot guy like Wright or Wheaton

Could finally be a successful red zone offense this year. Been a travesty down there in recent seasons.

Yeah, he was a projected 1st round pick, before he got hurt his senior year.

And where does Cruz come into the picture? Does he even make the team?

I wonder if noon is reading the trubs bashing on the other forums?

On Bears forums?

That seems to be very up in the air. However, he was aided by the Meredith injury.

White/Wright/Wheaton/Cruz/Gentry (Titus Davis practice squad, if he clears waivers)

Is my guess...

Deandre Thompson showed something last years as well and he was a decent kick returner, he may be the odd man out

I'm still bugged about the Cruz drop on Sunday. I felt that was a huge momentum killer. Felt Trubs was picking up steam, and that would've been an incredible conversion/play by him, had Cruz made an easy catch, that hit him right between the numbers. Stellar play by Trubisky tho.

Ah, that's right, Thompson. I knew I was forgetting someone. He is going to make the roster. No doubt, he's our return man and has been getting a lot of run at receiver.

He may bump Cruz out, because I think Gentry has it made.
