WindyCity Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Chris Spielman on Trubisky “The past few weeks that I’ve been out to (Bears) practice he’s always there and he’s never leaving. He’s always working. So when the defense is up and the offense is off the field, Mitchell Trubisky’s grabbing wide receivers and tight ends and working on foot work and routes in drills. He never stops. So he doesn’t like take a knee and watch the defense practice. He’s over there wanting to get better. He has the mentality, he has a presence about him. I think he has the respect of his players and at least from the Monday Night game against the Vikings until last week I think we’ve seen tremendous growth.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBearsFan Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 This week would be a great week IMO for a “test week” for Mitch. Throw a lot on his plate and see how he does against elite competition. They should get their asses kicked against Philly anyway and they have nothing to lose. At 3-7 the season is over. Tell him you want him to go out and win the game on offense from jump. Don’t be safe to a fault. Be aggressive. Dictate play. I want to see you outduel Wentz. It’s probably our only shot to win anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugashane Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Pace should want him to make a statement here too. Reich likely is in the HC mix and if he does well here that might be enticing for him to want this job if he sees Trubisky play well up close.

G08 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think the only way I want Reich as HC is if Defilippo comes with him as OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'd be looking to make Defilippo a top paid coordinator regardless of HC. Lafleur/Defilippo is probably my favorite combo right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 The guys presence and poise really blow me away. After years of Cutler melting down and then being surley after wards may have jaded me, but I love the way that this guy works, leads, and never looks rattled. If we go back to the crap offenses of starts 1-5 we need to fire Fox after the Eagles game and allow Loggains to call the same game we saw against the Lions.

Nads786 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I don't see Fox doing anything like that. I think he prefers to lose very closely. I see a ton of running for negative yards and safe passes while the D gets shredded slowly by Wentz. The only saving grace in this game is the Eagles probably are looking past us and will come out flat. I will go on record and say this will be Mitch's first "bad" game of the season with 2+ picks.

I think it’s going to go the other way. I think it’s going to be his first multi touchdown pass game. That said I think we’re going to lose something like 33-24. Our D is in trouble without Floyd.

This is a team that put up 30 in a half, on the road at Dallas. 45 or 50 may be more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, he can run his way to two 4th quarter TDs. Philly has three solids runners based on what I saw in the Dallas game. That team is hot and should make this one look easy.

You can't help but like the job that Reich is doing over there in Philly. He has both the run game and pass game firing on all cylinders. Talk about balance. As for DeFilippo, why are so many fans high on him as a HC candidate? Has any HC in the history of the NFL ever been hired after being a position coach the year before? I'm not saying DeFilippo won't be a good HC someday but what about makes him so attractive as a HC right now given his limited coordinating experience? What do we knoe about him? As an OC, sure I can see him coming to Chicago, just not under Reich since he will likely take that spot in Philly if Reich leaves. Maybe he would come under a Matt Nagy hire since we've already heard that Nagy will likely hire Pettine to be his DC and considering that Pettine hired DeFillippo as his OC when he was with the Browns.

Rod Marinelli was an AHC/DL coach when he was hired by Detroit... I also don't see DeFilippo as an HC candidate...I don however think if Reich does leave he stays in Philly as OC because Wentz gives him the best chance of becoming an NFL HC down the road.

topwop1 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 On the topic of head coaching candidates are we overlooking a guy like Dan Campbell who is the assistant head coach to Sean Payton in New Orleans? Pace knows him back from his playing days and he does have head coaching experience as the interim coach of the Dolphins a couple seasons back after Joe Philbin got fired. He's from an offensive background being a former tight end and seems like a guy who would command the respect of his players. Just another name to throw in the hat..
