dll2000 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 When I was at practice and practices I have seen online I am impressed with the emphasis on fundamentals and the teaching between reps. Something I didn’t see as much under Nagy and is a sign of good coaching staff. I think many people assume pros don’t need to practice fundamentals, but it isn’t true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 When I coached I would see teams practicing their playbook and scheme most of practice in August rather than fundamentals and they would be better than my teams early. We crushed them late. I learned from great coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 To media bashing Bears Oline Context Rookie LT playing and is still learning. How did Seattles 1st round rookie LT play? RG has had two practices ever at position. Center is back up. And still many of pressures are fault of back up RBs. Give things a half minute to be built. Oline coaching and building is a little harder than it looks. It doesn’t happen like a video game where you plug and play different names. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL play is always something that takes time to come together…I have watched a few preseason games and outside of the Eagles I would say no other OL has looked massively better than ours…we won’t really know how this OL will look until a 3 or 4 games into the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oline coaching and building is a little harder than it looks. It doesn’t happen like a video game where you plug and play different names. Media narratives are insanely frustrating to me, but the ones that frustrate me the most are the former player ones where a guy obviously knows better but chooses to tell a story anyway. If you look close enough at anything you’ll see what you want to see. The younger “analysts” are the worst at it too. The major national outlets are the worst though. During the game at least give me analysis of what’s actually happening and not some bull **** push to what you decided to tell us ahead of time. That broadcast Thursday was shameful in that regard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we can run the same 5 out there this week to start to see some of that continuity come together. We have seen such a small portion of our offense so far too. Minimal moving pockets, but enough to know they’re there. Minimal screens, but enough to know that we’ll use them (they already look better coached and executed than those under Nagy too). No RPOs yet at all. Each of those will serve to help the pass protection out somewhat too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are lazy. They just use narratives in place of research and observation. They have dream jobs of watching football and talking about it and they mail it in. They do bare minimum. I get you aren't going to know same level of detail as a local beat reporter or fan, there isn't time. But they can do way better than they do. The fans have full time jobs. This is your job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Going into the season Oline was our biggest question mark and it still is. But Bears are slowly answering the questions. That is the positive. Yes, it is a work in progress but there is light at end of tunnel now. This time last year it was being put together with bubble gum and that elmers glue you use in grade school. The media wasn't there complaining like they should have been. Now they are complaining loudly and shouldn't be (as much as they are). I think Braxton is going to get abused at times still, he already is and has been. But he has a lot of upside potential. He is currently showing on par with most of the 2022 high draft picks out there and more than some. I haven't really watched them aside from Seattle's guy last week, but from what I have read. Ideally Braxton would be watching and learning all year since that is best way to learn. But sadly they are giving him reps in hopes he gets better that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but remember the media makes a living on reactionary statements. Skip Bayless makes more than our entire subforum because of his hot takes. "Poor Bears QB Justin Fields is in Danger" sells a hell of a lot more than "Rebuilding OL needs time to gel, OC needs to account for it in playcalling" Now that I think about Skip, most of us left a lot of money on the table by keeping our own hot takes to the forum. 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Not surprising. Hope he figures it out, but if he can’t catch on to this WR corps, the odds aren’t great for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
