Philly fans complained about this a lot last year. He sometimes fails to read his blocks in the running and passing game.

Still ran for over a 1,000 and and had another 200+ receiving and he split time with him K.Gainwell and B.Scott. Also had 5 rushing TD's which isn't horrible for as many TD's he could of had if they didn't invent the greatest tush push ever.

 

[dabears70]

No I compared him to the whole NFL RB group by noting he was 2nd worse in the entire NFL in RYOE and 4th worse in RYOE per attempt. That is comparing him too all RBs dumbass.

Stats dont tell the whole story. They are just better at telling the story than uneducated fans who resort to deflection when they cant intelligently argue a point. You have no rebuttal to the fact Swift is 2nd and 4th worse in the NFL in RYOE and RYOE per attempt.

You literally just described yourself in what you do with every debate you get into with your daily vortex's.

Swift would be doing about 80% of what gibbs is doing in detoilet because of that OL.

Gibbs is clearly the superior player but he'd look shit just like deandre swift behind this OL and shit run blocking from our skill players.

Drafting RB high is always stupid nowadays. Especially considering the best ones make 10-12m a year vs 30m for a WR or defensive end or left tackle

Yeah Gibbs is easily the better player between him and Swift. Shit i'd probably take Monty back over Swift. All i'm saying is Swift is better than what we've seen from him with this inconsistent offense and average OL.

This is also expecting them to lose out, which im not sure still happens. I guess we will see if the team(particularly the defense) comes out juiced tonight. It seemed like they actually had some pride for these packers games.

The seagulls also arent that great, so who knows.


I fully expect about a 9 or 10 pick tho, just good enough to get the 2nd tackle available and then have to flip him inside to guard.

Seattle lost Geno Smith last night but don't know the severity of his injury yet so that could be a win. Hopefully we beat at least one of GB, Det or Minn.

Not getting over 1000 yards in a 17 game season behind the best OL in football would be shameful honestly.

Agree, just saying he did it with splitting a lot of time with two other RB's is all.

 

[dabears70]

I'd be pretty damn happy if we came out of the draft with what they have in this mock.

OL/DL and a S and RB with the last two picks.

Kenneth gainwell did eat up a good chunk of carries with like 80, but Scott only had 20 carries all of last year. Gainwell is on pace for a similar number of carries this year but obviously saquon is getting a lot more because they are just running more as they are dominating teams with their rushing attack

But Scott and Gainwell were both in for passing downs as well because both were better receivers and faster that Swift. Swift was still the #1 guy, they just used the other two a good amount.

If Campbell is there at 9 Bears should run to the podium. Problem is he won't be, though.

No I described you because you responded by trying to deflect which you are doing again.

Do you have anything intelligent to say about the fact Swift is 2nd worse in the NFL in RYOE and 4th worse in RYOE per attempt?

Got to pick Mason Graham if he is there. If Campbell is there but not Graham, get Campbell. Banks projects as guard. Too high. Rather get IOL in 2nd. DT or RB in 3 rd. BOA after.

I will love any Wolverine on our team. Go Blue! However, I am going to disagree that IOL is too high for a first round pick. Tyler Smith and Zach Martin are starters for the cowboys at Guard, are playing well for them, and were first rounders. I haven't watched a cowboys game this year, but last year both of those players got positive attention, and I know Zach Martin has a history of being top notch.

Getting a first round OL that ends up starting at guard (whether or not he projected to be a tackle) helps keep Caleb clean. I am not going to argue with the price tag of helping Caleb stay off the injury report.

Swift is mediocre, very good pass catcher, very good in space, but offers little more than what's blocked on most plays and isn't a very good blocker.

They should draft RB in the mid rounds this year. although if they don't add a pick I don't think they can afford to take one in the 3rd.

I like Swift but I am not his biggest fan, and am ambivalent on keeping him around. One thing is for certain, bringing in a back that is a plus pass blocker, a good receiver, and still a threat to take a draw is something that would benefit this team. I like Ollie Gordon, and with his down year this year I think he is a candidate to be taken on the third day of the draft.

If Campbell is there at 9 Bears should run to the podium. Problem is he won't be, though.

If Campbell is there, sprint to the podium and front flip onto the stage. Caleb deserves better than Braxton Jones and Nate Davis. Should he push either to the curb, fucking great.

Think it is more top 10 that is typically considered too high for an IOL which is part of the worry with Campbell.

That scouting report posted is already hinting at him possibly playing guard which is typically a tell tale sign that there are concerns whether he is better suited for T or G.

Having said that you draft him and then let him Jones and Wright fight it out for the 2 OT spots with the loser kicking inside to G.

Jones is never going to be a G

 

[UChiLAbear]

They are going to draft a DE. Take it to the bank

Does a Credit Union work?

 

[remydat]

Correct I would think it is either Campbell or Wright that would end up inside as both have shorter arms allegedly. So think it would be

LT - Jones/Wright
LG Campbell

or

LT/RT - Campbell/Jones
RG - Wright

OR you could put Campbell at LT and get two new guards and potentially a new C(or keep shelton) as well.

He’s best as a swing tackle or RT. It’s time to look for a replacement at LT. Baltimore’s LT Stanley is going to walk this year; he hasn’t been elite since his nasty ankle(?) injury but he’s still much better than any LT this franchise has had. He won’t be 31 until March. His run blocking sucks but I don’t think he’s given up a sack this year.

 

[dennehy]

Stanley is hurt all the time.

Patrick Mekari is an interesting guy, has played LT and G for BAL, versatile and to my eye a good player.
