GoSox05 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Seems like a bad idea to trade a young WR with a ton of upside for a back up O-lineman. Edited August 16, 2016 by GoSox05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 10:47 AM) Bears, its preseason so not a big deal but for the love of God don't look terrible again tonight. I think this week of practicing against one of the best teams on the planet for the last 15 years will be extremely beneficial for the team in the long-run. Great to get to see the Pats way. Sounds like Alshon & White were two of the best players on either side of the practices and the talk of Floyd has been pretty glowing as well (about the athleticism that he's flashed).

They were hinting at surgery this morning. I dont think he is in the Bears future at this point. He isnt one of their guys and he hasnt showed much of anything. This regime doesnt play around too much when you have those to descriptions next to your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have all just been thanks to Peanut on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have all just been thanks to Peanut on the other side. The first half of his first season he showed some promise but he fell off. And has been pretty mediocre to just flat out bad since that time. The awfulness of Emery continues to step on nut sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I think he got to be starter level in the second half of last year. But defense just had a lot fo guys "doing their jobs" but nobody disrupting. When one level gets to "exceling" then we'll finally get some turnovers.

Chisoxfn Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) The first half of his first season he showed some promise but he fell off. And has been pretty mediocre to just flat out bad since that time. The awfulness of Emery continues to step on nut sacks. Actually, the second half of last year he made a lot of progress. Hopefully whatever it is, he can get cleaned up and get right early in the season. While he isn't a star, we have little depth in the secondary and he has the potential to be a solid CB (and was for a good chunk of the 2nd half of the season...which is a nice sign considering the first half he was still adjusting to the new defense, etc.). The injury hurts in the sense that he won't get a camp to build upon his second half success and improved knowledge of the D. Hopefully whatever it is, it is relatively minor.

Secondary is weakest spot on team but they couldn't fix everything. Yup. Pace hinted it was going to be a 2-3 year thing. If anyone thought they would fix every weakness after one year, then they're out to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
