I'm not terribly upset about this. I think he was seriously overpaid at 3/40.5 just for who he is, not to mention that signing a pure 3T is somewhat of a luxury for a team that needs so much help on offense. I'd like to see bigger contracts for cut players like JC Tretter, Lael Collins, etc. Comp picks could be coming back if handled carefully, but obviously still target the best players for the scheme. how easy is it to find a decent 3t nowadays? I remember how important Tommie Harris was to that defense, not sure if Ogunjobi was "the guy", but it seems like they are harder to find

I didn't realize UNLV was a tenant, but that (2 fields) would certainly add complexity ETA: LV has swiveling columns,,,,,woo hoo! we better get some of those. Pony up Virginia $$$$$$$$ essentially, because of the seating load they need columns that can move and allow the tray to pas by, but that means other columns have to take up the load (and said other columns also swivel!!!). It is more complicated then Phoenix, but that's why rich people build stadiums (or taxpayers) and we sit and marvel at it all I'm confused as to what exactly holds up the load while the swiveling ones are swiveled. A temporary set of columns? And why can't those just be permanent? (these are somewhat rhetorical questions, please feel free to just respond "engineering magic and crossed fingers") I'm not entirely sure, but I think the entire seating area pivots out of the way for the tray to pass through the building opening. The swivels could be mounted on rollers that allow the columns to roll with the seating section above/ like a table on casters so to speak. Def engineering magic however, back to Dan the Man Campbell, his super intendant threatened to kill my client 2 times. Once we began the legal proceedings to have him removed from eh project, Dan lost his license...magically. I wont go into the details, but essentially his business partner left him (and his partner had the license under which we were working) and POOF no more company. We were lucky to finish the project. If you have ever seen "Casino", the house we were working on was 8 houses down from Lucky's place:

according to jersey, these will be used for coca plant cultivation and cocaine production, dome or no dome

I dont know the design well enough to know that is true or why, but sure it could have consequences Where that jumbo tron is where they role the field in. It's a big opening. LV had to really beef up the support to put seats in that area (and maybe it's suspect enhineering). Those aren't the highest value seats, but its something. I guess what I mean is how they make the opening in the wall, ie concrete arch or steel truss or.....etc. there are expensive ways and reasons and not expensive ways and reasons but not being part of the design team, I dont know the decisions that led them to the results in either Phoenix or LV

I dont know the design well enough to know that is true or why, but sure it could have consequences

through an unlikely set of circumstance, I met the structural engineer/contractor who did the seating stations at LV's stadium. My guess is it is over designed due to the fact I had to fire him on a project of my own....because he lost his license 1/2 trough it. He holds several engineering and contracting licenses and the one he lost was not his engineering license that he used for the stadium, but the incompetence remains. Lets hope the Bears design team finds a better option in the Chicago area eta: I guess he thinks engineering is similar to ballroom dancing..yeah guess what its not https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/henderson/engineer-in-step-with-changing-las-vegas-landscape/ Thanks. Maybe the Tottenham approach is possible too. I know Houston used to have a movable field approach but it seemed to really cause injury issue (negating the pro grass point) based on seaming the field pieces together. But that was a ton of seams. If it was just one seam, maybe that would lessen the concerns there. or better yet, 0 seams like Phoenix

no, but summer/spring/fall months it would grow well and still allow the Bears to use the stadium for other purposes, march madness, concerts, what have you, and not destroy the turf doing so. Plus, a grow-house could be constructed next to the stadium if you want to keep it warm but dormant during the winter That's true I guess. Lambeau uses some sort of artificial light growing system for the winter months and they do pretty well. They also have that hybrid grass that's reinforced with turf. If it works for them I'd think it works for Chicago and then you just gotta put the whole field on giant wheels (basically). As far as other venues, this is just my wacky idea with zero professional knowledge. Grass as your base level with optimisized NFL sight lines. An artifical light/irrigation system that rolls out over it but that can also support weight of your secondary venue floor like NCAA tourney. You raise the floor a bunch, but those bottom row sight lines are useless anyways for stuff like that. So while the Final 4 is rocking above the grass you have lights and irrigation keeping the grass happy underneath. I guess it's a question of strength if that support system being possible? I remember reading about Vegas's structure and they had a similar conundrum because they wanted to maximize seats. Whereas Arizona kept the rollover section as lean as possible, Vegas had to really beef up engineering to hold seats and allow the field to roll under. Then for Tottenham they took the approach of splitting the field. But that seems like a worse option for NFL. eta: I guess he looks at engineering like ballroom dancing...yeah guess what, its not https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/henderson/engineer-in-step-with-changing-las-vegas-landscape/ Otherwise I guess yea, you do the exact same design (basically) as Vegas but in your empty field have some system to erect temporary green structure and artificial lights for Nov-Feb. In either form, probably using GBs hybrid turf is best bet. through an unlikely set of circumstance, I met the structural engineer/contractor who did the seating stations at LV's stadium.

i'm sure there are several ways to do it well, the rolling field would even work considering the size of the parcel the Bears bought Grass won't be growing all that well rolled out in November in December. no, but summer/spring/fall months it would grow well and still allow the Bears to use the stadium for other purposes, march madness, concerts, what have you, and not destroy the turf doing so. Plus, a grow-house could be constructed next to the stadium if you want to keep it warm but dormant during the winter

If they go that direction I hope they do it better than SF SF isn't really relevant? Arizona and LV are the only domed teams with grass. For those teams it was a matter of rolling the field out to take advantage of natural sunlight and weather. For Bears probably would be more likely to be some sort of artificial light growing system that keeps it all indoors. No idea if it's really that feasible, but would be awesome. I think there may be a couple soccer clubs that do it? i'm sure there are several ways to do it well, the rolling field would even work considering the size of the parcel the Bears bought

Daniels should have been a good got athletically for the scheme. I guess attitude (or even consistency) are being prioritized. This guy got ARob extension wrong last year, but I feel like maybe he has called other things and is maybe connected? He did have something that he predicted that came true, can't recall what it is. I think you could easily go into 2022 with Borom and Jenkins at RT/RG, as long as you get a versatile veteran as depth/competition. Not sure if JC Tretter is a good option at C with respect to scheme and what his contract demand might be. My take is sign some talented upside/value guys regardless of position and let them sort it out in training camp. Multiple C options would be great. Pushing Borom into a reserve role would be great. I don't understand why Borom would start T over Jenkins. Health?

Not the group I was hoping for. HKS would have been better imo I want a real grass field like Raiders have though. Hope they do it again. If they go that direction I hope they do it better than SF

Not the group I was hoping for. HKS would have been better imo

Also, does this make Heyward expendable, or our new CF?

Between Simmons and (rumored) Rizzo, are anti-vac'rs the new market efficiency?

I don’t know why networks pay these guys. Nobody is tuning in for broadcasters. Umm, well, that's exactly why they pay them, they're desperate

totally on board with that who are the top OL guys available that could be with us for 4-6 years moving forward?

We have Jorge at home, he's got all of the defensive liabilities but maybe not the bat and also he's a ginger You have a red headed son?

I thought he essentially admitted to it?

sad to see Mack go and I'm not at all happy with the return but it is time to rebuild this team quickly

it would be pretty wild, no doubt. but also Pace's rating should still be tempered by his other moves and the fact he had such a high draft pick to begin with. its not like he picked Mitch in the 7th round

I've got some news for you. save it, between covid, trump, putin, inflation I need some fantasy in my life

Rumors are the Giants want Mitch and assuming there is a real possibility of starting, I'm sure he'd want to play under Daboll again. I still don't think Mitch will be all that great as a starter, but I'm absolutely terrified at the possibility of that happening. If that happens I'm going to Lake Forest and trashing Nagy's $6m home that's on the market. You're terrified of Biscuit becoming a great starter with the Giants? Lol. yes, because it would mean that the Bears are the fools, 100% and that is harder to swallow then the idea that Mitch just wasn't up to snuff

My guess is Mitch Trubisky himself Wentz is a tough QB to commit to, my feel is the Colts wanted out early especially after a collapse down the stretch. His injury history is pretty serious: a concussion (those are forever) against the Seahawks during the playoffs in 2019 was immediately followed with leading the league in INTs and a sub-60% competition rate for 2020, the knee in 2017 cost him alot of athleticism, and there's some back and foot stuff mixed in too. He came into the league as one of the better athletes at the position but that's long gone... I wouldn't be surprised if they signed Mitch, I saw an article this morning tha stated he is (his agent) fielding multiple points of inquiry. He wasn't bad, and honestly not even really below average. HE was just average and Nagy sucked. I'm sure their are coaches/teams that think hes worth the trouble to take a chance on

I thought he started the season strong but kinda flattened out https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WentCa00/gamelog/2021/
