I agree - they need the GM.

Dolphins will interview him in person while Bears doing zoom. I get a feeling Dolphins will beat him to the punch. Now whether he prefers going to Miami who has shown a history or short strings is the real question. At this point I think Flores goes to Giants or Texans.

I mean just look at how they get Allen into space and use his legs to really put defense in tough spot. They use his legs to open pass game, simplify the read, and put them in spot to get low risk chunk yards with his legs. It’s beautiful and Fields has similar skill set.

F it - Bears should just hire Shoen and Dabol. Seriously I don’t want to over think this. Bills have drafted well, made good trades, run a good team. Don’t get cute and take the two Bills guys. Than see if Dabol can go lure Fangio to be DC :). I want Dabol building an offense around Fields. I also want Dabol bringing Ken Dorsey with him.

And Mitch takes the knees!!! What is funny is if Dabol came I would love Mitch to follow as the backup to Fields. Their skill sets, while not the same are similar so allows you to have your hedge. Not that Mitch is coming back to be behind Fields.

Yeah - Demar got too ball hog. Would have been a real nice short handed win. Real tough cause it gets no easier with Memphis on Monday. This would have been a nice one. Ayo and White played real well.

Bears next head coach??? Can he turn Fields into Allen?

Just sit everyone and get crushed tonight. Stick it to the league.

He stunk the next year and got canned. So yeah. If anything I am grasping at straws. I still go back to…if Flores gets well vetted he could be good, Bowles is good, Dabol could be great (although I don’t know much about him prior to his success with Bills but really like how they have adapted as league caught up them this year).

Fantastic news. Let’s hope a bit of rest and than he is good to go rest of the season!!! Comes at a tough time for Bulls given how many back to backs they have. NBA should have extended season or cancelled some games. Putting this much on players is a disaster waiting to happen.

I get too many Rose flashbacks though. I remember when he had the meniscus tear and I got all excited yet he still missed the whole season (despite fact other players had came back from similar injury in 10-20 days).

I am hoping Zach’s injury gets confirmed as mild and we are looking at a 1-3 week timeline vs 1-3 months. At this point can’t be major structural - so either meniscus or more normal swelling/slight strain is my guess. Hopefully just slight strain.

Haha - I can confirm there are probably some aspects of the job I would eventually do better than anyone on the club today (quite frankly I do think with time I could be Ted Phillips on steroids)…but if I were in charge of roster personnel - people would be begging for Pace to come back haha.

I believe Hacket and Flores are on the docket today in terms of HC candidates. Seems to be a ton of recent press around now dynamic Hacket is. I just think anyone can look good around Rodgers but I get the fact that he did get a crazy good year out of Bortles. If it weren’t for Nagy and how bad that went I probably wouldn’t be as anti Hackett.

Just saw the video - hopefully it is good news that he walked off pretty okay (without help) but who knows. Also - for the teammates these can be the types of things when they happen in a game where the team just loses focus (and can partially explain a drubbing). Would love to see a run in them in the 2nd half so they don't have back to back 30 point losses to 2 of the best teams in the NBA.

Oh geeze. I just hope Lavine is okay. Team has to use these two drubbings as a way to get back grounded and get back doing the little things right, especially knowing that Zach is clearly out for at least a while (hopefully we get good news and it isn't anything serious and he can come back fast).

Almost no young QB really is that great at processing the field and reading. You only see that advancement come years down the road (with rare exceptions). Even the best young QB's - when you really look at their offense - they have been simplified to be go here or there or there type of items. They need to be accurate, quick to process and more recently rely on athleticism to help overcome their real weaknesses at just being a master at reading a D. Now once you are 5, than 10 years into the league - well - at that point you don't have same athleticism - but you've seen everything and naturally are going to be much better at the other things. I think it is a total misconception that most elite young QB's are great at reading D's (I just think they are put in better positions and than obviously have to have quick releases and all that other stuff). They do need to play within a playclock. It is why I think when you look at how Chiefs or Cardinals used mahomes/Murray early - you can see how they do it. My lone exception is probably someone like Mac Jones.

The year where he had that "frisbee" working was so awesome. A one year wonder - likely driven by age (35 I think when he started with the White Sox).

I am sure Mitch agent is leaking some of this stuff too - help get Mitch another shot. But the quotes about Mitch in training camp saying this stuff isn't working, having issues, pointing out options - coaches ignoring. Not good. Allen Robinson on radio today with Keyshawn, Jayson, & Max - basically threw coaching staff under the bus. Maintained professionalism - but basically said game plans were horrendous (in particular how they were going to use him). Nagy had not spoke to Allen Robinson between the playoff loss and 1st training camp (which was odd to Robinson since he implied they always had a tight relationship). He indicated he doesn't expect to get tagged again.

Honestly - I would love to hear Foles thoughts. You can tell he has a very strong opinion that he's kept tight for a while.

I am convinced Mitch will be the next Tannehill. Man some of these leaks today - not good look for Nagy. There is probably another side to the story - but what dude never even gave Mitch a chance.

I assume Flores will end up with Texans - potentially taking Watson off of the trade market.

Also - as Bmags outlined it - I think the least exciting names to me would be a Frazier/Ireland combination. Both just would be so meh. Maybe they work out - but Ireland only excites me if its because they got a HC with real clout who feels good about partnering with Ireland. And I'm probably wrong and reality is all of this is a crap shoot because almost every single person is extremely well qualified and its a matter of do they have a bit of luck on their side (their picks don't get hurt - they get lucky and land the right QB, maybe have a late round dart that pays off). The difference between success and failure can be so small in NFL.

THe Bears or are you making smart remark on Texans? I still say if someone told me BOB was going to play nicely with the front office and learned that he can't juggle both - I think he would move right below Harbaugh as my top candidate.

An was he really that bad? I mean Davis Mills made a ton of progress during the season.
