I strongly believe Eberflus was an arranged marriage, Eberflus would still be the HC had Warren and Poles not double-teamed McCaskey for hours. I also believe Poles wanted Eberflus gone after last season but, was overridden by McCaskey.
-
Think its rather obvious the types above aren't working, if he's any sense or intelligence at all, he's going to try something different when targeting OL help. Will that different be an improvement?
-
That's the problem, maybe, Caleb, being his QB, will lend more urgency and willingness to truly address the problem.
-
If Ben Johnson is their target they should do whatever it takes to convince him the correct structure is in place.
-
It's not rocket surgery - 1. Improve run and pass blocking 2. Add a downhill power RB 3. Add a DE who can get to the QB - I believe even Poles is capable of figuring this out.
-
I, to, want Poles removed however, given the reasoning above, that's more of hot-take on my part. Poles has the hard part done, finding a QB, fixing the trenches shouldn't be impossible. It can be done in an off season, other average to below-average GM's have managed such a task. So, it's certainly possible that Poles could accomplish the same. It's all there for the Bears, extend Poles, do whatever it takes to convince Ben Johnson, Poles takes care of the offensive and defensive lines, playoffs then become a real possibility.
-
Yes, he needs to be let go, what's ironic is it appears Poles got the hardest part correct - the QB. Even an average GM will probably be able to come in and improve the OL and Dl, something Poles has struggled to right.
-
Same could have been said about the Lions, with the correct hires things can turn around. The Bears, like the Lions did, have to stumble into the right people.
-
They aren't. The only thing making the Bears job the most attractive and the only thing that matters is Caleb. Next HC gets to work with, help nurture, a potential super star QB in one of the NFL's biggest markets, with one of it's founding teams. All those rumors, criteria, innuendo, etc. is media tabloid bull horsefeathers. Saw a little bit of video with that horsefeathers Lombardi idiot. Although, he was correct about the Bears needs to address both lines, he was way off on trying to justify any of the Raiders, Jets', Saints' or Cowboys' jobs as more attractive than the Bears' job.
-
I like Pat Bryant, WR, Illinois, later rounds, for the Bears, could be a replacement for Allen.
-
Beyond a doubt, McCaskey had no intention of firing him. I give Poles and Warren credit for getting it done, maybe, they used some magic words that would have offended Virginia.
-
They may be replacement level players on defense but, at least, they were balls to walls aggressive. Trying to make something happen instead laying back playing not to lose. Probably won't work against QB's who can better handle blitzes, might get burned a few times.
-
Hope they do win, might make it easier for Johnson to move on, preferably, to the Bears.
-
Any of those three will probably work out, no doubt all of them are a major step up from Eberflus. Of course, that's a very low bar nevertheless, believe all three of them are above that bar.
-
2011?
-
Belichik smells like the White Sox hiring of LaRussa, please, no.
-
Agree, right now appears chances of success are fairly decent with Ben Johnson and, to a lesser extent, Joe Brady.
-
Probably. Caleb and Rome realizing their potentials? I'll take my chances vs. the NFC North. That's the exciting part, as previously mentioned, it's not - "well, if Mitch or Justin can take a step forward...", it's - "with the right coaching and cleaning up some things Caleb' going to explode". Not so certain about the greatness of Dan Campbell, so far, at least once, it appears he's capable of picking good assistants. If he loses Johnson and Glenn can he do it again? If so, then the Lions will probably continue to be good.
-
Saw a little bit of the Herd regarding the attractiveness of the Bears job relative to other openings, they deemed the Bears job the most attractive with the caveat of dealing with the young rosters of GB and Detroit plus the best HC in the Vikings' McConnell. I say horsefeathers them all, you get the correct HC/Coaching Staff and Caleb' the best QB in the NFC North, I'll take that over anything at GB, DET or MINN.
-
He'll definitely clean up Caleb' footwork and look to maximize his quick release, that'll form a lethal, nearly unstoppable offense.
-
It's got to be OL or DL with the first rounder, I think even Poles is aware of this need. Maybe look at a RB with their third rounder? They got two second rounders to further spend on the OL or DL which ever one they didn't grab in the first.
-
Me to, just get Johnson from the Lions, who gives a horsefeathers if you have to potentially wait until Februray. My guess is he has already pretty good idea of the Bears roster.
-
OC from Buffalo
-
Beyond terrible coaching the constant has been bad, flawed QB's, Caleb has shown he's different. Maybe, that'll help break the cycle.
-
And he had Mahomes as his QB think that makes a bit of a difference. In terms of a potential good coach Johnson >>>> Nagy.
