dll2000 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 2 hours ago, AZBearsFan said: One could reasonably conclude that the Quinn move is a sign that they’re planning to need to be able to win games 20-16 with some frequency which could be an indicator toward Mitch getting another real shot to keep the job. I could be connecting dots that aren’t there with that too though - Quinn was a needed upgrade regardless of what we did on offense. Quinn was a significant upgrade and close to price you would pay for Floyd. Depth is still a major issue and will likely rear its ugly head in a 17 game season. Offense needs to keep defense off field some or Bears are toast again despite all the defensive talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm kinda shocked Floyd got a $10 mil deal from LA. He should name his first born after his agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're transitioning to a 4-3 though, aren't they? (Fired Phillips, and all.) If that's the case, it makes sense in that context. I'll look it up later...

RTD Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I thought Floyd would replace Fowler at DE. He got 10 mil. Thats alot for a SAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm seeing is a guy who has a lightening quick first step and speed to turn the corner. Most of his rushes depend on that more than speed > power as is more often the case with Mack. He also has a nice battery of moves and good hand fighting skills. I like Quinn is that prototype weak side rusher so Mack can play the strong side where he's often been more productive against the run as well. Along with Hicks and RRH who can also rush well that's gonna be a strong front four. Edited March 25, 2020 by soulman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Dent and Hampton would be most people's #1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He declined quickly due to depression, mental illness and addiction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks to hear about Perry, heard he was in bad health but doing slightly better a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few DTs in history have been as effective at rushing the passer as he was. But we are never gonna see this defense abuse QBs the way the '85 Bears did. Half the DL and the OLBs would be suspended for the entire season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget he went to Washington and helped them dominate and win a Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's was a killer OLB and yet Mikey McCaskey let him walk away in FA. He virtually destroyed that team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
