  1. For the tank effort? Sure.
  2. Since we've never hired a former HC and we'd still be paying Trestman two years... I won't hold my breath. Seems like a guy willing to sign cheap would be a selling point to the McCaskeys. Maybe times have changed though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I don't know why I thought sitting Bell against the wretched Bears D was advisable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. So if the Bears did part with Trestman; Previous HC: Something I don't think they've ever done. I'll name one O and one D. Jack Del Rio -oversaw some good teams in Jax even though those teams fell apart at the end of his time there. Those teams did well on O and D. He's probably the most accomplished former HC that's still actively coaching. Hue Jackson -While he is an offensive coach, I'll be honest his offenses don't necessarily blow me away- and he's never even lasted more than a year as OC. So why mention him? He apparently got a not great Oakland team to overachieve and has a rep as a great players coach. This is about getting a strong leader and trusting his 13 years in the league with multiple teams will lead to strong coordinator hires. Current coordinators: I'm naming one O and one as again. Defense- Dan Quinn. Even though Carroll runs the show, this is about trying to replicate that Sea Defense. Classic copy cat league move, but if it worked... Offense- I'm going with Seattle again. As much as they've been a success with the D, they've put up strong offenses with a mid round QB developed and not that great receivers. Darrell Bevell also had a decent time with Minn (Favre years). Apparently some don't see him as a HC material and we did pass him over last time. But he has more of a track record than other offensive coordinators that are hot names. Other popular names - Pep Hamilton, Todd Bowles, or two candidates if fired, Jim Harbaugh and Rex Ryan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. The DLine doesn't have a stud. But it's well rounded top to bottom and I think you can run it as a solid unit with active rotations as is. If you felt a true impact DE was there at your spot you take him over bigger needs though. I'm willing to bump Bass off the team and everyone else down a spot, especially since Allen is probably gone after next year, even if he rebounds. If you signed 2-3 FA in the DB, I'd lineup my ideal draft like; Rd1- Best LB or DL Rd2- Best OL Rd3- Best DPA (any) Rd4- Speed WR/KR (Eddie royal/Johnny Knox type could get so many good looks) Rd6&7- BPA Resign DLP or equivalent C in FA. Resign Paea. Maybe resign Tillman, but don't count on him. If that Rd1 guy is a DL and not a LB you'd have to target another FA LB like Williams. Maybe you do anyways, but you'll probably have to do some creative structuring and leverage some future cap. We're fairly healthy with the cap, but not as much as last year.

  6. LB I'd pencil Bostic at Will. I'd target a MLB in the draft if possible. Bring back Sharpton who can be insurance at Mike and Sam with a possible rookie and Christian Jones competing for those spots respectively. Shea basically would just be in competition with other ST LBers. I'd try and sign two FA DB starters. A S and CB. I can live with Mundy as a in the box safety who gets subbed out in some passing situations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I'd say there's at least 11 teams that they should realistically finish better than. If the over perform, it'll push them down. Highest I think they get is about 7. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I think DE is a more important need than just "depth" with questions on how good Houston will be when he returns and Allen is aging and middling (has he had a good game against a starter this year besides Matt Kalil who clearly shouldn't be starting?). Post flu he's been a factor at least. Probably more than any defender, not that it's says much. Yea I'm willing to keep an optimistic view after he can put some muscle back on- we're stuck with him anyways next year. A dynamic pass rusher is basically a no brainier if available, but if there isn't one I think we can roll with the current DLine group as the back 7 is in much worse shape.

  9. The Bears need new coaching first and foremost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. We sucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. He player better the last two weeks but since Bostic or Jones have a chance to start for us next year and in the future I'd rather have them playing anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Is Mills healthy? Leno or Groy with the start? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Why is that sad? It's hilarious and awesome. And Russell is gonna be so awesome for so long someone born this year is going to be his teammate in 2034. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. So one this year and one next sounds perfect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I gave the derby a real good effort and my mom said mine definitely should have won the award for most unique car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Doesn't FA usually look better a year out before guys sign extensions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. As originally stated trolling hard is the only other possibility. The classic defense mechanism to shield your survivors guilt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Skip right to weeblos and let 11 year old kids go out and camp and do other outdoorsy things and Boy Scouts will be legit. The ritual of rec center leather making and "nature" hikes pointing out what dandelions are is what breeds the weirdos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Barely squeak in or 51 wins because that's the win% comparable for MLB. I'd definitely store that banner in a storage locker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Being in a league with tenths for the first time, I don't mind it. I was always annoyed at outcomes like 39 rushing yards and 28 receiving yards. Give me those decimals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Interesting as a non-fan. A great 30 for 30. As a fan of the team, way too many mixed feelings and something similar to survivors guilt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Tiger scouts is pretty dumb and a lot of crafts in the church or rec center basement. If you find that bearable you eventually might do actual cool outdoor activities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Not saying it wouldn't be fun, but I'd also self aware of the fact that under normal circumstances I wouldn't even be close to being there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Obviously the regular season goes out the window when the playoffs start, but usually we think of playoffs spots being earned. It goes against what we expect. It'd be fun while it lasted but afterwards I'd feel a little indifferent. Hey remember all those crappy players who weren't fun to watch over half the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
