Looks about right, except that Bowman is now the #1 CB. Id also say Asiata at LG, with Beekman being the primary backup at C.

Lol at AA being the short yardage back. I dont think we will ever see that again.

We could, it's becoming more popular in college and in the NFL. Alabama did it w/ Mount Cody and the Ravens have done it w/ Ngata

 

[Anytime23]

I just dont see Martz doing it. Turner did it once last season and we didnt see it again. If anything, i would use Henry Melton in those situations. But besides that he's worthless.

 

[Wakacha]

Yeah, i felt bad leaving Melton out, but i just didnt have room, but i do expect he'll make the roster. Maybe he replaces Dez Clark? LeFevour? Steltz? its got to be one of those 3. Possibly Webb.
I also think Will Ta'ufo'ou' has a good chance to beat Eddie Williams

Doesn't the defense have 2 starting cornerbacks?

So Tillman and Bowman would both be starters.

That looks right.

Yeah but you put the #1 corner 1st. Bowman is the #1.

Substitute Wright for Manning, and we have a good secondary. I still like Manning, though.

Manning is garbage. Poor ball skills and hates contact.

Maybe I'm the only one but I'd rather keep Kellen Davis over Dez Clark. We're not winning the SB this year and Dez Clark isnt a factor at all anymore. Might as well keep the freak athlete.

Not only does Manning have poor ball skills and hates contract, he has bad instincts

 

[Anytime23]

I absolutely hate Manning at S whether it be free or strong. He played well at nickel, keep him there.

I agree completely, but i have a sad feeling the Bears will start him. Then again that's what training camp is for

 

[Anytime23]

Yeah, i'll wait till TC before i panic about if he's playing S or not. I know im just beating the dead horse but its really too bad they havent made a move for Atogwe. With their jobs on the line, they should just go all out. But they made a 3rd round investment in arguably a SS playing free soooo...idk. I just want them to finally get a legit FS and stop acting like these positions are interchangeable.

 

[regoob2]

I really hope Major Wright can prove he's capable of starting. Him and Chris Harris on paper are perfect for the cover 2. If Chris Harris can stay healthy and if Major Wright can play mistake free we can have a very good safety duo.

 

[Anytime23]

Rookie playing mistake free? We cant even get Manning to play mistake free for a series. Either way, with Harris and Wright combined with a more potent pass rush, we're better than we were last season.

 

[Saluki]

The bears are moving manning to SS this year backing up Harris.....why he's playing SS when he really shouldn't have been play FS and should be in the nickle is way beyond me.

I think he'll still play nickel, but IMO I could seem him being the SS on long-yardage situations.

This wouldn't surprise me.
