I don't know much about Trestman other than what I've read since his hire. I just like the idea of the Bears having that genius type HC.

Ive seen a few reports now describe Long's attitude as nasty. One video from rookie mini camp showed him finishing off a defender who he had already knocked down.
Whats that mean? Maybe nothing but I like it. Combine his athletic ability and a "kill not be killed" attitude my opinion is that they will coach him up to be a pretty good player.

These fuckin bums should have stopped choking then if they wanted Lovie to stay. They knew the deal. They choked, they lost, Lovie paid. Now get over it or your ass is gone next, that's the deal. Thats where Bears nation is at these days.

Definitely. The thing I took from his attitude in the interview was that he was very aware of his technique needing a lot of work before he's ready for starting in the NFL.
Which is a good thing. If you can add "cares about the details" to the qualities you mentioned, that has the makings of an exciting prospect.

Oh, BS.
Had Marshall gone to some other team, nobody would have thought much of it. But Emery made the trade and seized the opportunity. It's not like Miami was calling only the Bears and insisting on the trade, and therefore any man being Bears GM would have made the same trade.
Angelo never acquired a WR. Emery immediately acquired a WR. Period.
I don't say Emery is a god. I just credit him for the move he actually made. No hypotheticals.

Describing the defender as the "defender" should say it all. Brown owned shea all camp last year, and was better than webb all season. LOL i;m still shocked at the Stockholm syndrome you guys have on webb. Long will be a bust along with every fucking person i've said in the past 4 damn years.
4 months ago you all were saying gabe is going to break out. I am no guru but obvious is obvious. Instead of some bs post spend 20 min or so out of life watching his games.
He is a bigger reach than shae

Agree. I prefer a guy who always looks at his weaknesses and tries to work on them, rather than some guy feeling "entitled' due to his draft position.

These guys had 2-3 seasons to save Lovie's job and they went 7-1 and then 3-5 last year when it was really on the line.
I am excited about a guy who Sean Payton reached out to when he was putting his offense together for the Saints and a guy he invites to camp every year to give him observations and notes.

I thought the way the team has been run since Emery was hired has made the direction of the team fairly obvious: if the O coaching/upgrades can't push us over the top this year - or at least make a solid statement concerning our chances next season - we will enter full-on rebuilding mode (thus all the short signings/no extensions for players during this season).
Emery seems to hold the view that the primary attributes you look for in a draftee are top-end physicality and the willingness to take instruction. You obviously can't teach the outrageous physical tools some of these guys have (see both of Emery's first round picks [and some of the later picks for that matter]). So what does he do? He hires a HC that is known specifically for his ability to instruct...he hires a fucking professor basically.
The philosophy of the new Bears is thus: bring in the most physically talented players you can, then teach them what their previous coaches either neglected, or failed, to teach.

Or at least if you're a HC that knows defense turnover the reigns to a good OC that will take care of that side of the ball. The opposite of the Ditka/Ryan era where Ditka had no say over Ryan's defense. And in Lovie's case he should have let the OC hire is own staff for the love of God.

What a load. Jay Cutler, Marshall, Joines, Benson, Olsen, Carimi, MM. The O was not ignored by JA and in Lovies last year by Emery. Emery came in late and relied a lot on his coaches needs last year. Maybe Tice thought he was set but maybe, just maybe Lovie could have had a better clue about what an O needs. If he didn't, he should be a Coordinator and not head coach. Coaches tend to have a specialty but aren't as oblivious to the other side of the ball. If they are, they shouldn't be in control of hiring the OC or have much say on draft day.
The O just couldn't get coordinated. Lovies coaches couldn't develop an Oline, WRs or O in general and Lovie did have a strong say on draft day. One reason that he's gone was the power structure written into his contract. Ties the hand of the GM you want to blame for everything. I'm not defending JA either. It was team work. Lovie also hung his coaches and buddy GM out to dry when the pressure was on.

It's early. The players who don't buy in will be gone in due time. That's the way it works in every business.

Shocking that you don't like Emery after he fired your lover-boy.
It's funny how you blame people for being so adamant in their lovie hate when you the polar opposite of them. You are so blind in your Lovie-love that you refuse to look at his tenure through any sort of non-rose-colored glasses.
