Also people are going crazy at this tweet, but it's the same number of high level roles. So hopefully theres more (like per above)
-
-
Piecing together some Twitter rumors and it sounds like maybe Joe Brady as QB coach? Either Getsy or Pep as OC. I'd assume Brady would get passing game coordinator too.
-
Justin Fields's conference :beg:
-
Think I saw that Alan Williams, currently Indys DB coach will interview. No other specific names that I've seen Wouldn't be surprised if he goes outside of his immediate connections. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2022/1/28/22907415/report-chicago-bears-matt-eberflus-3-indianapolis-colts-assistant-coaches-williams-rowe-borgonzi I threw out Kris Richard as an interesting name they could look at. Spent 2 years under Marinelli so knows the scheme. Brings great knowledge of the Seattle cover 3 scheme and has spent the last year under Allen in NO who's obviously done great work. Could bring a nice mix of experiences to meld into the Bears own unique style with Flus.
-
Jason la Canfora reporting Bradys retirement is imminent. If Rodgers is traded to Denver, the NFC is gonna be so wide open. They may wanna consider splitting up the NFC West lol.
-
If that is real, he also just gave his credit card number to everyone that sees the photo. Might cancel my card when I found out I did that anyways.
-
I was not impressed with his running at all this season. I wouldn't heavily rely on that if we want him to stay healthy. A little that, but also not sure it plays to his throwing strengths. I mean I know every team will use it a little, but I don't wanna see the scheme center on it.
-
Goatse seems incredibly uninspiring. Not sure how you can be considered a disciple of a guy you coached under for one year. I'm guessing he's saying that since he played under him at Akron too.
-
I know this will sound weird, but I don't know if heavy RPO is gonna be the best use of Fields talents. Some speculation Pep would still be in play for QB coach and passing game coordinator.
-
Except when he worked for us lol. I guess he turned Orton into a servicable QB Like Daboll or Shannahan in CLE, no candidates past ties to Chicago should be held against them lol.
-
Seen a couple remarks made along these lines and I tend to agree with the logic. If Ozzie Newsome had you scouting the Sec you have an eye for talent. Still really interested though to see who/if Poles brings in any outsiders for things like cap mgmt or increasing analytics/R&D. Baltimore would be an org to poach in that area.
-
I've seen some arguments for the Philly guy. A lot of tape watchers saying their WR are being schemed open well and any issues are more about Hurts accuracy, but they felt he maximizes passing scheme.
-
Yea I saw that. Very interesting.
-
Not being reported as DC. Hopefully that means Flus is keeping DC for a bigger fish.

Dbl post

Interesting reading this article with everything that has been written about the Bears process GM/HC process. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33160068 Kwesi doesn't sound like he's getting full reign in Minnesota.
-
Like that he spent 5 years in Ravens org and then Philly. Two winning orgs, one in Baltimore I'm particularly fond of. Another former lineman (Virginia).
-
I kind of like Eberflus, but we have two first timers again and I did kind of want at least one of the roles to be experienced. Will be eager to see how both coach and exec staff get built out. Rod Marinelli back as DC?
-
Ryan and Matt are our football people. Roll credits. Anyone take my advice and plop down a bet when he was still +1000?
-
I really don't think there's much reason to be doubtful of DBB having a source. Quality of source, and certainly bias of source, flame away. But between the Pace call, naming the exact day and candidates of certain candidates, and being the only one to say that George would announce a restructuring at the PC, means he has a real source. Some have speculated its close to Ted, which sounds like a reasonable assumption. But if it's not Ted himself then there's gonna be an opportunity to have bad, biased, or incomplete info from time to time. Still for rumor-mill blogging and not traditional, well vetted, journalism standards, it seems pretty good.

I suspect this is an underrated component of the edge. First ball you always have a better shot at a possession edge. This is why the "halves" idea in OT works well as a balancing feature. But we can itterate on versions of that because you risk getting into an endless game still. After a certain point, sudden death is probably practical, but there should be some strategic trade off rather than just being determined by a coin flip.
-
That starts to become quite a slog. I think there is a balance between a zippy conclusion without titling odds too much. Find the median "first score" time since the NFL instituted the 10 minute OT. That's the first OT period then. It's a full timed period. Do either the coin toss or flip possession from 2nd half to determine possession. After that period is played out in full, if it's still tied, you flip possession again and now go true Sudden death OT. No clock. First team has an advantage as they can set the pace on first possession and basically try to end it on their terms in a single scoring possession, but if they give the other team too much time to tie or run out of time on their own, that other team is also gonna get the sudden death advantage on 2OT. Each team at least gets something and there is a strategic element that counters the coin flip weight. I've done it. Put me on the phone with the commissioner. That's it!! Another day another problem solved. One addendum as I think through it. If the first team to possess kicks a FG, OT should either 1. Immediately go to a sudden death with possession to opponent OR 2. Add a set time to the clock, say 1:00 extra. Basically avoid running the clock down to a FG try. I think I prefer 1, but both have validity. Also OT automatically ends on a defensive score.
