BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Bears looked like dog****. The OL is going to sink this team unless they get reeeeal lucky and get some guys back and other guys play above their previous showings. Fields should start but I'm worried he's going to get RG3'd. Trying smoking ribs with oak/maple/apple today and it smells amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the OL not many teams in the NFL are going to look good missing 3 starters...especially when two of those starts are your tackles...preseason or not.

Ty21 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Fields playing behind this ****ty o line is going to break him. So rushing him in is still not the best idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that's our reality, lack of ol depth and bad luck, but it's not pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest concern for me is CB #2...Vildor is a slot in my book...need Burns to step up big time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're as bad as you think, won't Dalton be hurt soon anyhow? 41 minutes ago, Madmike90 said: When it comes to the OL not many teams in the NFL are going to look good missing 3 starters...especially when two of those starts are your tackles...preseason or not. Agree 100%. When it's Peters-Whitehair-Mustipher-Daniels-Bars it'll be average. When Peters inevitably gets hurt, it'll be Bars-Whitehair-Mustipher-Daniels-Ifedi and that's slightly below average. By no means will they ever be terrible, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Allen gets injured, Mitch won't even see a single meaningful snap this year to even "showcase" for other teams. Coaches have seen enough of Mitch to know he isn't the answer. He isn't going to find himself a starting job unless he happens to fall into a magical situation where a playoff team loses their starter and are forced to play Mitch in the playoffs and he catches lightening in a bottle ala Foles. This is where QBs like Mitch and Winston' careers are at right now, and that's the best they can hope for at this point. Other than that, they will likely bounce around from team to team as back-up Qbs before eventually falling off the radar. Even his success against the Bears was the same stuff. Short throws, getting YAC, roll outs and mobility. He still can’t read defenses or throw deep. He’s going to be a great backup for any team out there and can easily light it up 2-3 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nads786 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I thought Fields looked really good through the game. He’s calm and poised. He looks down field, knows when to run and when to pass it. He rarely produces negative plays, I’ve been pretty impressed by him. He needs to start week 4-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I agree that ever move we make from this point has to be what's best from Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the best case scenario for the the OL was "acceptable" and that was before the unit started all getting final destinationed.

This article reflects my feelings since just after draft when they Nagy said they were going to roll with Dalton this year. I knew this is where people were going to end up more and more. Wait until after Rams game … Yep, Nagy keeps getting called a good head coach but I don't know exactly why. He can't call plays or install a competent offense so he needs to stop trying and focus on elevating his OC and DC however he can. Set up the practices, help scheme, etc. There's still a ton to do. His W/L record isn't even his own, it is Pace and the DCs that earned that. If anything the record should be better but he has been the weak link as a mediocre offensive mind. Nagy seems desperate (not due to the preseason games, but from the moves overall). He wanted Foles last year so clearly he lacks the understanding of what allowed Foles those brief moments of high level play and how we couldn't provide almost any of that criteria. He gets flummoxed when Foles plays worse than Tru so he decides to go after another aging, lackluster QB to hope plays better than his ability allows. If we didn't have Fields there would be zero excitement for this offense. But if Fields gets the start then how does Nagy justify both ridiculously bad QB signings? For a QB guru he was suppose to be he sucks something fierce with the handling of the position. On the other hand it seems like Dalton really has "full control" of the offense. He has the ineffectiveness Nagy's QBs are known for down pat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
