It was a hundred degrees yesterday and from what I understand the WPC practice field isn’t exactly close to HH. We (not you specifically) may be jumping the gun a bit by treating “on a cart” like it says “on a stretcher” or even “…without putting any weight on it.” Could be something as simple as that the training cart was already here and that those who were going to evaluate him were already going to be using the cart to get to the trainer’s room anyway. You're correct. He was carted off but likely to get him to a/c asap. I did see a tweet but I forgot to come back and post it Eberflus says today he's "confident" that Brisker, Claypool and Jackson will play week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or shouldn’t be. They are still just going thud. But, a lot of it, I suspect, is guys are just going extra hard because of all competition and smack talking. A good practice is people fly around, but no one hits the ground. Too many DBs and WRs are hitting ground for my taste. For lines at some point in team you should say this is not live. Just go through motions at half or three quarter speed so we can work on timing and precision of a play and D can work coverage responsibilities. It is still helpful to have line there for that. You have to preserve people. Especially giants. It is easy for them to get banged up because of weights and inhuman strength of opponents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Agreed. I was never concerned about his get off. If anything can be taught and coached it is get off. If he was just slow, that would be another issue. But he tested fast. So that wasn't issue. He still isn't great with his hands yet. But you can see he is experimenting and learning. It takes time.

dll2000 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Dexter number one issue to work on is pad level. He tends to play too high. Common issue for tall guys especially ones that are relatively new to position. Remember a lot of guys do fundamentals from 7 years old. He started late in HS.

Ty21 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Sorry to whoever thought Joe Reed was KR of the future. Also sorry to me that we put Pettis on IR instead of freaking cutting him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there arent a ton of those in the Trenches. He also has to start stringing more of them together on game day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Carmen DeFalco has legit Bears sources and he said he's been told the Bears have talked to KC about Chris Jones I would not be a fan of this. Jones has 2-3 good years left & I'm not trading two 1's for him or even a 1 & 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be able to maintain that while playing many more snaps there? Probably. But still it's just a bad deal if they want the firsts.
