  1. It better be a strength because they won't be lighting up the scoreboard. What is the front 7 depth right now? The 2 losers of the Unrein, Ferguson and Sutton battle. Ferguson and Sutton still have projectability left IMO. Houston who came on strong towards the end of the year, Willie Young, Acho and Christian Jones are solid depth. I get your point that they are ignoring the offense. It is a concern for me too, but a solid defense goes a long way to building a good football team, and its not like our offense is like 2000-2004 where there are absolutely no playmakers with garbage QBs. I do think we are going to struggle running the ball next year though and that concerns me.
  2. If Floyd turns out to be a solid pick, the Bears are pretty set with 6 of their front 7 on defense (the 2nd DE spot is still up in the air between Unrein, Ferguson and Sutton). The back end is still a work in progress, but if Amos progresses from last year and Fuller gets a little more consistent, it should hold its own, especially if our LBs are getting pressure on QBs. And while I don't necessarily think its a sure thing we keep all those guys, we have some solid depth behind many of those guys. I really like what we've done to rebuild the defense in basically 2 years and think it could be a strength next year.
  3. You are being ridiculous. He wasn't smoking up in the green room. Somebody attacked him. Lol. Yes someone attacked him with a picture of himself. He's not the first guy to have this happen to him. I know why omc is all worked up but why does anyone else give a [expletive]? He wore the mask like an idiot. He let someone take his pic. And he's still going to make millions of dollars. If Ole miss hadn't paid him to go there, he would have gone somewhere else and may have avoided all this. So we can add Hugh Freeze and omc to the list of people responsible for his actions. Yeah I think its a shitty unfortunate thing that happened and I know that most 17-20 year olds make stupid mistakes they wish they could take back, but at the same time I don't feel sorry for him. Beyond the pot smoking video, he apparently accepted money from his school, which he knew was wrong, and then was Brandon Dassey'd into admitting it publicly. But after all of that he is still the 13th pick of the draft and is pretty much immediately a multimillionaire. If you want to feel sorry for someone feel sorry for Michael Sam who was basically forced to come out, and saw his draft stock drop multiple rounds overnight. Even if he ultimately isn't that good, if he is a 3rd or 4th round pick he gets a legitimate shot to realize his dream and play in the NFL.
  4. It absolutely boggles my mind that a presumably educated person actually believes this. I could understand it if the Cubs had a team filled with players that choked miserably in the past (yes the Cubs got swept by the Mets but that was a systematic destruction not players choking IMO). But to believe some higher power is directing the Cubs to fail simply because they are the Cubs is ridiculous as a serious argument.
  5. I can't believe I'm actually going into minor league threads each morning specifically to see how Almora's done. What a world we live in.
  6. that's not the stat. it was the most poles of any city after warsaw, and it's not even true anymore. Well NYC jumped Chicago recently, but they both have roughly 200k poles. There are about 14 cities in Poland besides Warsaw that have more than 200k people. Even if the entire population isn't considered ethnic Polish, there are some cities like Krakow that have over 700k in population. I am not sure if that fun fact was ever true.
  7. Wasn't that a thing most of last season too? Cubs always ruined our Fridays. Not that 1-2 is a large sample size... Great Memory !!! CUBS are 16-11 (.593) on Sundays CUBS are 11-5 (.688) on Mondays CUBS are 17-9 (.654) on Tuesdays CUBS are 13-13 (.500) on Wednesdays CUBS are 11-5 (.688) on Thursdays CUBS are 13-14 (.481) on Fridays CUBS are 16-8 (.667) on Saturdays Go CUBS !! look at all those losses. What a crap team we had last year.
  8. [tweet] [/tweet] My god I don't know if I want this more to be a hacked message or a real statement
  9. [tweet] [/tweet] Wow
  10. If they're real, they're at least irrelevant to his NFL future, unlike weed. I couldn't care less. This is just a fascinating story overall
  11. About to be 2-17 though so they are trending up
  12. This was the only pick in the top 10 that was given a Thumbs down. Post draft grades/reactions are completely meaningless. We all know this. Oh completely, I'm not arguing there. Just posting some of the initial reaction. Thought it was funny everyone else was given a thumbs up
  13. This was the only pick in the top 10 that was given a Thumbs down.
  14. Even though he hasn't fully earned it, I trust that Pace knows what he's doing
  15. Brad Biggs says the Bears drafting Floyd
  16. Biggs says its floyd
  17. Who do they want so badly they have to trade up 2 spots?
  18. http://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/1017322 Laremy Tunsil apparently posts a video of him taking a bong rip on Twitter moments before the draft and then deletes it. Was this already posted? I'm too lazy to look
  19. Good I don't have to have that awkward thing where I have to root for an OSU guy
  20. He's excited for the trip back to Iowa?
  21. Bryant is getting an MRI on his ankle
  22. David, what do you think about bringing Rondon in for the 9th to preserve our RD?
  23. Hopefully he's not on PEDs like our last AAAA catcher
  24. Not sure but its interesting how the backend of our roster looks. Cahill and Wood get all the garbage innings, Richard pitches like once a week, I am not 100% sure if Neil Ramirez is a real person. Meanwhile we still have a 4 man bench and guys are starting to get a little banged up and depth is starting to thin out.
