Docknstein11 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I’ll wait and see as far as Dexter vs JMS/Tippmann goes. No use worrying about it or assuming JMS is a lock to be great. Same goes for the people worrying about Nate Davis. I’ll worry when it’s week 4 and he’s injured or playing like poop, but not now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippman has apparently been not good in NY and has been sitting 3rd string all camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though honestly I'm not even following the Bears much outside of this forum. lol. Has his issues been technical or struggling with plays? Or just heard he hasn't performed as well as they expected?

Epyon Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Well if memory serves JMS was touted because he was a pro ready guy, and the critique was that he was a pretty meh athlete. I'd actually wager he was off our boards because of his RAS. The expectation was VERY high floor, but probably already capped out potential wise. Tippman on the other hand, was considered an athletic freak with a higher ceiling.... but would need some time to cook. None of the admittedly limited things I've heard about either player so far seems to contradict that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember exactly. Was listening to The Athletic Football podcast while doing stuff and Mays was talking about how concerning the OL was in NYJ and mentioned that even though they put resources into it like the draft, Tipp was 3rd on the DC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Rodgers preferred veteran Centers so I was wondering if he would sneak onto the starting lineup as an OG and kick over later but wasn't sure how it would work out. He had his warts as a prospect for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Wright hurt his ankle today. Basically only remaining healthy starting OL at this time is Braxton Jones. Jenkins is out Whitehair hurt his snapping hand and got moved to LG. Nate Davis is still ramping up having hardly practiced. Wright hurt his ankle. Flus was asked if he would play Justin this weekend behind an OL so banged up this weekend. He said he didn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hamstrings, muscle pulls/strains, rolled ankles take awhile to recover from. You can get those without banging much. Just running around. Seems like it always happens primarily in one position group when it happens to Bears. Braxton Jones has been an iron man relatively speaking thus far. They played him like every snap in offseason last year including extended snaps in the preseason games and then he went through every game the whole season.

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Fuuuuuu... I know there are injuries in every team's practice but Bears being down to backups on OL is like a National holiday in August at this point. I wish you all a somber and safe Dieter Eiselen Day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
