Sugashane Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 7 hours ago, dll2000 said: Return of the FB across NFL is bad news for Bears. Roquan Smith and DT are not equipped for lead ISO. Even Urlacher struggled with it even though he was a monster. He was a converted safety. Why he loved playing with Ted Washington. Singletary and Butkus ate it up. This was one reason I was in favor of Kwit over DT. Though he had a pec injury last week so the durability point I gave him hasn't started well. When Hicks went down we had a massive drop in physicality from the DL and with Goldman missing it is much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kwiatkoski already hurt his pec this year, so that may be a problem for him moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson should have been extended ALREADY. Not doing so is a really ridiculous dereliction by Pace. The only explanation is that he feels Miller (his pick, as opposed to his FA signing) will rise up and make Robinson expendable. Whatever the explanation, it's inexcusable this hasn't been done, or is in the process of being done. 10 hours ago, dll2000 said: 18 million for ARob is fair. Maybe. Something in that ballpark, anyway. He makes like $14 mil now, as it is, right? 9 hours ago, dll2000 said: Return of the FB across NFL is bad news for Bears.

Turns out it may have been one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To assume a fullback automatically blows them up is silly. That isn’t the point. Point is Smith and Trevathan are block avoidance LBs. They are surgeons not blacksmiths. They will make plays still of course, but they thrive when protected and can struggle when they aren’t. A FB is a ideally a more nimble blocker than a guard and harder to avoid. ILBs for decades were trained to take that ISO block on in the hole in order to Stop that play. That isn’t what they are set up for. Smith is cat quick though. He can get it done more often than not with RB style jump cuts. DT I worry more about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugashane Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 So I think I mentioned that I was looking at jumping into a company that had a ton of room for advancement a while back. Went to the plant as a guest to watch the process, met with the Area Manager down to a bunch if the Sanitors and talked things over with my wife and kids. I'm going to sell off my construction business to my brother and jump in. I just signed and sent back the acceptance letter and will be moving to Louisiana for 4-5 months for their training program, then will be able to apply all over the US to run a site. Excited for the transition and to get a job that will have far better benefits than as an independent contractor - which is zero aside from self funded. lol Within 2-3 years I may be able to damn near double what I'm making right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
