Y2Jimmy0 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 2, 2016 -> 08:48 AM) Meredith had a pretty good preseason, that hurt Bravermans chances a lot. i think they try and sneak him through waivers too Problem is that they are keeping Royal and Mariani. Braverman is a slot guy with minimal ST impact. They can't keep 3 slot guys. White and Jeffery are on the team. That leaves 2 spots and Wilson starts on PUP. I would think that Meredith and Bellamy make it as last two but then they don't have a KR on the roster without Thompson. I expect a lot of moving parts over the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 2, 2016 -> 09:13 AM) Mariani. Ugh. Why? WR coach Curtis Johnson loves Mariani. He's a lock IMO even though I'm not really a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Not a huge fan of Mariani but he did fairly well as a slot guy last year and is steady with catching the ball in the return game. He isnt going to lose you any games by making key mistakes and you need that. I am not going to get upset over a 7th rounder being cut nor would I get upset if Mariani didnt make it. I would understand either side of the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'd rather them get rid of Royal and just go younger but thats wishful thinking with his contract and the org thinking they can actually do something this season. Hmm.. why does that sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. why does that sound familiar? I think Bears can "compete" or be right near 8-8. That might put them in a race for parts of season though. I see the Cardinals, Packers, and Panthers as playoff teams. If I had to pick before season I would have said playoff teams were: Cardinals, Seahawks, Redskins, Panthers, Packers, Vikings. I think the Bridgewater injury opens a spot for someone. I don't know for sure that the Bears with their schedule are definitely worse than NYG, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Minnesota. I think they are better than Philly, Detroit, San Francisco, LA, and Tampa Bay. Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 2, 2016 -> 07:13 AM) Mariani. Ugh. Why? Because he was pretty good in the slot last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 yea, at this point counting on Royal seems to be foolish. His concussion thing this preseason doesnt seem like a good omen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I know since we've seen basically 0 of royal it's easy to forget, but he was very productive and would be a huge asset if we got the royal of 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I looked at Royal's career stats, he averaged 13-14 games played per season, which I found surprising. He seems way more injury prone than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 If you want to complain about Braverman not making it, complain about him not putting up a good performance. We will obviously try to sneak him onto the practice squad, but nothing during the games screamed, this guy is more deserving of a position then Meredith or any of the other wideouts they'd be keeping over him (and this is coming from someone who really liked the Braverman pick). I think even Braverman would admit that and hopefully we can keep him on the practice squad and he can put in the work, develop, and eventually make the squad.

shipps Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Bears should be keeping a really close eye on all the cuts that are going on today which I know they will. When you have a team that is lacking depth like they are they can actually save themselves in some areas with some quick signings from this point on.
