Monken isn't even 60. I mean, Pete Carroll and Belichick are both north of 70. Monken's age doesn't phase me.
Can't say I know much about him but he's an Illinois native, has coached one of the best offenses in the league the last two years and has a ton of experience. Could do worse.
there are so few people that look exactly as Dumb as they are, and Mike McCarthy is one of em
just so obviously a Dumb Guy. You can just tell from his slackjawed face
I'm marginally annoyed they're interviewing any DC candidates at all.
Don't interview a single defensive minded person. Don't even give the impression it's a possibility.
I am utterly bewildered by people who are mad at the 2022 tear down. What.... what was the difference there? Instead of 3-14 we could have been 7-10 ? There's nothing about what they did that offseason/season that I am upset about.
I really don't get it.
I am, however, upset at squandering the resources that were accumulated at that time. That's legit.
Sure. And the thing that really separates elite defensive units from everyone else is a bomb ass pass rushing DT. But we got bigger fish to fry first, unfortunately (like constructing, still, a professional offense)
The 2024 Bears had an inordinate number of injuries on their OLine but the Line was also unacceptably mediocre fully healthy. 3 years into a tenure. Can’t be that untalented on the line 3 years in, IMO.
I know Laurence Holmes has been ragging on them passing up Jalen Carter from last year but I’m also like….do you really want to see the 2024 Bears without Darnell Wright AND with a head case guy with character issues?? On THIS team? With THIS coaching staff??
It’s a small thing but…what happened to Montez Sweat this year? Yeah, no help on the other side of the defensive line but….5.5 sacks in 17 games? I don’t remember hearing his name basically at all the back half of the season. I don’t care if you have no other pass rushing help, that ain’t fuckin good enough if you’re supposedly “elite”
This is it. This is the nadir of the franchise. They can’t beat the packers in a meaningless game where their QB is knocked out of the game.
It’s never been worse for the bears
