OT: Bears & NFL Talk 77

That's one is tough. The only thing I could say is he lowered his head instead of keeping it up but at that speed, it's impossible to play D in this league. I definitely thought the 50/50 ball should have been a TD.

I think the 50/50 ball was probably the right call, but given that they ruled it a TD initially, it would maybe stand. I had a much bigger problem with the roughing call.

4/6 is extremely well? The 2 he missed were 40+ sure, but I have no confidence in him (or Pinerio) outside of 40.

Yeah if anything we should be bringing in kickers every week to try

Our K situation is still issue

 

[Mrfenn92]

Foles to start week 4

 

[Mrfenn92]

Do you guys think that Pineiro will be sent to the practice squad when he gets off IR? Santos is doing extremely well so far this season.

My guess is they activate eddy and put him on the roster for a game while keeping Santos also

Goodbye Trubisky

Goodbye Trubisky

I think this is the right move, but I also have zero doubt that Trubisky will start another game this season. Foles gets hurt a lot.

I just don’t understand what Trubisky showed in the preseason to make Nagy think he still deserved another chance.

From the very first snap yesterday, Foles looked like he had a significantly better grasp of the system and just has more general football awareness. The gap between these two looks huge, and that’s something I didn’t expect.

I don't think it was an open competition.

I think he probably knew that once you bench Mitch that is probably it and there was no going back. It was a weird offseason and Mitch's knowledge of what they were doing was probably a plus in his favor. I'm not saying that's the right way to do it, but that's my best guess. With no preseason, it's impossible to really know who looked better and my guess is that if it was "tied" you'd stay with Mitch to start.

I'm pretty skeptical of Nagy at this point, but I give him a lot of credit for pulling Mitch when he did and naming Foles the starter now. I think the easy move would have been, they were 2-0 on there way 2-1 and to not change things up. I think this was a bold and good move. I was surprised he pulled the plug when he did.

I also wish there was a way to see how that came played out with Mitch the rest of the way. Part of me wonders if the Falcons still blow it (or at least come close to doing so) as that's what they do and we saw Mitch get hot against Detroit.

Yep it was rigged

Also LOL at the "Leadership" growth of Mitch being factor in competition

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Where has Kmet been?

Nagy doghouse

 

[Fortyfives]

Starting Mitch was a CYA decision for Nagy. Now he can say it was Mitch/Pace problem.

 

[RayP]

Nagy doghouse

Do we actually know this though?


Maybe he’s not practicing well? We don’t have enough info or sample size to draw any conclusions to why.

 

[TLEH]

He's just simply not getting snaps.

Yeah, it's not unreasonable to think a rookie, especially in this weird offseason, might be having troubles picking up the system.

Also, for all the uproar about getting Jimmy Graham, he's been a valuable weapon for them.


I'd certainly hope to see Kemet become more involved and productive as the season goes on, but I don't think it's anything to be worried about at this point.

 

[TLEH]

Considering the lack of success for a lot of weapons drafted by Pace on the offensive side of the ball, color me skeptical. Harrison Bryant was taken in the 4th round and he just scored a touchdown last week. DJ Chark was picked 10 after Miller and Gallup was taken the next round. Hunter Renfrow was the next WR taken after Riley Ridley

With Trubisky throwing time the ball up until yesterday do you honestly think any of those guys would have wound up as better picks?

DJ Chark has 94 receptions for 1,291 yds and 9 tds in his career
Miller has 91 receptions for 1,198 yds and 11 tds in his career

I don't see that as some sort of damning comparison.

He had a 1000 yard season.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Sure and did nothing his rookie year.

Charks the top wr on his team while Miller is behind Robinson for obvious reasons. Id probably take Chark over Miller to be honest, but just pointing out the context.

I get the context, Chark is clearly better and taken 10 picks later. They were ranked around the same points in the draft, Pace was essentially picking between Chark and Miller at that pick.
