Unless the combine really changes perception on those backs, the Bears should be able to grab 1 of them. Expand I would take Henderson on breakaway speed...but tOSU seemed to favor Judkins more in "must have/do or die" situations. Johnson just has that elite combination of size speed and YAC. He still succeeded despite being 75% of defensive focus. Edited January 22 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd really only get a promotion in name if he came to the Bears as OC. Expand We don’t really know what he wants. I assume he wants to call plays, but maybe he doesn’t? He also has to consider fit and what he sees as higher success rate. If he is a firm believer in Johnson and what the Bears will be, and he isn’t as high on Geno/Seattle, maybe he picks the Bears. Also, the ultimate variable of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he would be elevated to OC in Detroit but maybe not. He won the press conference and that is important as he needs to win and control the room.

bmags Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I hate post coach hire when a lot of assistant rumors get out and people start hyping them. And they almost never happen.

When Waldron was hired, you had Seattle players going on podcasts saying "Yeah, good luck with that Chicago..."
