topwop1 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Quote Rotoworld.com Bears released WR Deonte Thompson. Thompson's snaps were dialed all the way back in Week 5, playing just eight snaps after being in on 53-of-68 plays in Week 4. He caught 11 balls for 125 yards and a score in five games. WR Tanner Gentry takes his roster spot Some of you guys got your wish. Tanner Gentry is back on the squad!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thompson and Bellamy both only played 11% of the offensive snaps Monday Night. I hope this is Pace realizing he needs to see who clicks with Trubisky and who doesn't. I believe Bellamy's contract is up after this season so hopefully he's not back again unless it's strictly for special teams. I have to think Wheaton and Mcbride will be on the outside, Wright in the slot and Gentry providing depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Looking back at the game Monday, there was SO little DB separation between msot of these guys most of the time. I understand they were trying to keep game plan unsophisticated, but it was frustrating watching guys take like 8 steps and then sit down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankWilliams Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I would rather they have kept Thompson over Bellamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Bellamy has to be John Fox's son. Thompson caught the most Trubisky passes in the preseason, so it makes sense to cut him now that Trubisky is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLCbear Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thompson is terrible, SUX at both KR and WR, so glad to see him go !! Gentry should have made the original 53 over Thompson anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both offer about the same at WR, so we need to look at ST. Thompson on ST was primarily a returner, and we have BC30 and TC29 that can do that. JB15 was primarily better at punt/kick coverage, and thus was more valuable on ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise what’s the point? Wheaton has not done anything to justify being on the field at all. It doesn’t mean he won’t be because John Fox, but he shouldn’t be out there at this point. As for the subtraction of Thompson, I don’t really see any downside. He’s a pretty average returner in spite of having really good speed, we have other guys who can do a comparable job there, and as a receiver he didn’t add any more than McBride, but had less upside. Really it’s a move that should’ve been made a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's the only one that can legitimately take the top off a defense... maybe McBride if you look at his timed speed but it doesn't seem like he plays up to those numbers.

I was wondering why he called Fox "Dad" instead of "Coach." Didn't expect it to be a pet name. Gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Wheaton may now be out for 4-6 weeks with a groin tear. Even though he hasnt done much him being out doesn't help Trubiskys development.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I guess Thompson still stinks as a WR and can't get separation, I'll just wait for this offensive staff to go before the Bears actually know what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just stopped to say thank you guys for Thompson... we desprately needed a speedy reciever. 4 Targets 4 Catches 108 yards in less than a week of practice.
