IronMike84 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Eddie Goldman is the only nose on the roster. Sounds like a. the Bears adapting to how little they're in base, and b. we're gonna see a lot of different looks up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsooie5 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Not sure why everyone is so surprised by some of these. John Fox is our HC, talk about the epitome of a coach who ignorantly favors "vets" over rookies or younger players with what seem to be more potential.

IronMike84 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Seriously, if then Bears had kept Gentry, nobody would have a damn word to say against the roster. Nothing but one bit cryfest. Yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 The first thing I would say about the roster is...calm down...there is no way that will be the roster come next Sunday... I don't see any way we carry 5 TEs...more than likely cut Braunecker and pick up a cut WR. I full expect us to pick up a cut DL as well...probably cutting a DB like LeBlanc, McManis or Hall if not cutting two of these guys and picking up another LB given McPhee and Trevathan's injury history. Can also still see Langford being cut to make room for another defender if we like one of those three safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Cuts I would like to see us look at... WR Kasen Williams (Former Seahawk) WR DeAngelo Yancey (Former Packer) WR Cobi Hamilton (Former Steeler) DE/OLB Will Clarke (Former Bengal) DE/OLB Shilique Calhoun (Former Raider) DE Xavier Cooper (Former Brown) ILB/OLB Mike Morgan (Former Seahawk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm equally upset about cutting Irving, kid was having superstar levels of pass rush production for an OLB (albeit entirely against 3rd-no string players) I fail to see how he shouldn't have bumped out Sam Acho for a roster spot, since we know for sure what Acho already is.... or not just been kept regardless since there's a rather large depth concern with McPheee's knees making him half a player at best snap count wise, and Particularly since Houston is apparently being given the boot (despite him actually playing well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 If I had to guess I'd say they wanted to try and get Gentry through to the practice squad and figured first round of cuts was best chance for that Guessing the fullback and braunecker and some others are quick to be cut if someone they like becomes available. Still seems like flying without a net here, but I imagine Pace has his eye on a few players getting cut elsewhere. Hopefully it works out and we're all a little pacified when we see results.

This year is different than others because there was no cut down last week to 75. I'm expecting a crap ton of waiver claims league wide and we have 3rd waiver priority so I expect us to be awarded a few which will at least somewhat change the current roster. That said, changes are going to be depth guys unless we swing a trade for a WR. Nobody that got cut was a starter or probably even a key contributor for this team in 2017 outside of ST. Like the idea of Calhoun - liked him pre-draft and makes sense given the current depth concerns we have at OLB. The released WR options don't do anything for me for 2017 purposes.

Sugashane Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Would have liked to see Gentry stick as he likely never would have been more than a reserve, but still better than Bellamy. At that point of depth you need ST though, I don't remember him making any plays there off the top of my head. Likely will go to practice squad and get the call up sooner rather than later due to an injury that seems to be inevitable. I'd like to see Aguayo in practice squad just on the small chance he gets himself sorted out. Cap space won't be limited by him at all, and he can compete next year with someone we bring in. Glad to see Burton got the FB job, I like Stevenson still, but I was really hoping to have a FB and Burton is underrated. I'm shocked both Jenkins and Jaye Howard were cut. I know we spend most of the time in nickel but Goldman is the only true nose and he has been injured. If he goes down to we just see Unrein/Bullard go there? Jenkins has no pass rush at all but the few times I remember seeing him he was stacking and shedding pretty well. I might have missed some really bad plays though. Glad to see RRH got the nod though. I liked Irving, I would have likely cut McManis and tried to find someone else to take his special teams reps, and tried Irving. He will likely go the RRH route and earn a spot on the 53 next year if he keeps frinding and doesn't get poached. TEs to me means he really likes one of the young guys and is waiting to let teams set their 53, then will kick one down to PS to see if he can retain them one more year, and get depth elsewhere from another team's cut.

Madmike90 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Quote Bears claimed WR Tre McBride off waivers from the Titans. The No. 245 overall pick of the 2015 draft, McBride began his career as a revered Dynasty league sleeper. He proceeded to catch two passes in two years, spending more time on the practice squad than active roster. Going on 25, he'll compete for snaps at the back end of the Bears' wafer-thin receiver corps. Quote Bears claimed RB Taquan Mizzell off waivers from the Ravens. An UDFA out of Virginia, Mizzell racked up a whopping 52 preseason touches. For now, he's claiming Ka'Deem Carey's (wrist) roster spot, but he probably won't last the entire year on the Bears' 53-man roster. McBride is an outstanding athlete...interesting to see if he can do something as a WR...can't see Mizzell making it to next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
