Why would you blow up this defense? The defense will be why a coaching and GM candidate will be attracted to the Bears.
Why would they be attracted to a team with an old defense that is taking up a ton of cap space and yet the team still sucks? Coaches are attracted to teams with wide open cap space who either have or in position to get a top young QB

Depends how much he asks for and calling him a run stuffer is harsh, he's better than that.

He’s already under contract. He’s good. But not really worth the contract. He doesn’t offer much pass rush at all. He’s essentially a run stuffer.

I don't think the defense sucks.

This defense is not going to win a championship. Pace has dumped a lot of money on the wrong side of the ball.

Does anyone else remember when we had a defense that would stop the other team on their own 4 yard line and force a punt instead of allowing a 96 yard drive for a TD?

Dudes with Urlacher in their avi have brain damage.

yes but defense doesn’t win championships anymore.

A good offense makes a bad defense average.

A great offense makes a average defense good.

Image if the Bears got a 2 TD lead. Mack would have a field day.

We can argue that point, or the reverse all day long, and it still wouldn't address a 94 yard TD drive against our D

Don't blow it all up. That's just dumb. There is plenty of talent on this team.

Sure, hire a new HC/GM.

You're an oline and a qb away from having a good team. They should have fixed that this season. Too bad nagy wanted to sign/draft 30 tight ends.

Sure you can.

When the defense is on the field all day. 94 yard drives will happen. I’m surprised how well this defense still cares.

The talent and money is so lopsided to 1 side of the ball. The contracts Pace has handed down pretty much make it impossible to start over.
