WindyCity Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 11 minutes ago, Heinz D. said: Sure. Whatever. I was wondering what your response would be to that nugget. 😁 The point of the Mack trade was to jettison a declining player with a massive salary. Converting to a 4-3 is also going to take some work. That's just how it goes. Do you think Ryan Pace was a good GM? No Pace was brutal.

I thought that was the point of the Mack trade. That was your own misinterpretation then. The Mack trade was probably about adding draft capital more than anything, and about understanding you can't be paying 2 guys elite pass rusher money. I went into the offseason expecting either Mack or Quinn to get traded, so I saw it coming. It didn't mean Defense doesn't matter, it didn't mean the Bears were going to super aggressive on the first 2 days of FA. It was simply a smart move for a team looking to build in the draft with a limited amount of capital, and could start to clear the books for 2023. If you read more into it than that, that's a you problem unfortunately. You may want to adjust your expectations accordingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Christian Kirk deal really is going to change the WR market. As I said before I would sign Trettor probably to a 2 year deal. Don't want Armstead, mainly bc I want to run Jenkins and Borom out there and see what we got, personally I think we have a pair of OTs for 10 years. And I'm OK with bringing in MVS for cheap as a 3/4 to timeshare with the rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I care about is getting the OL sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really tho? Borom more than held his own against a who's who of pass rushers and it took a single game and a half for him to take the starting spot and never really look back. Jenkins you can call a risk, but I think he is everything Poles said he was looking for. He fits athletically very well on the left side and he has a bona-fide mean streak. I'll take my chances to get a full season look at him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't answer my question. They're transitioning to a 4-3. And thank the football gods for that. That transition takes some thought, and resources, as well. But they'll be far better off as a team once they establish a good 4-3. I've harped about that for years now. Running a 3-4 in today's game is simply not very smart. As to the offense--just because they didn't run out and sign Armstead, doesn't mean the O line won't be better. If we have a **** show come Opening Day, I'll be concerned. But right now, things are proceeding in a reasonable way. The hope is that this continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don’t care who it would be as long as it says OL next to their name DJ you? Moses is no where close to the type of lineman needed for this offense. And I actually really like him, but not at all for this new style offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I think what is clear is Poles is targeting the traditional "Cover 2" Roles... Penetrating UT and speedy run and hit LB... The most important thing from both these players? Impact Plays... Larry Ogunjobi in 2021... 43 Total Tackles 7 Sacks 16 QB Hits 41 Total QB pressures 12 TFL 20 Total Run Stops Nicholas Morrow in 2020… 78 Total Tackles 3 Sacks 6 QB Hits 8 TFL 9PBUs 1 INT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like this might be very telling on how they see Roquan’s role on this D, likely as the MLB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
