Olin Kreutz in shambles.
My guess is to get Patrick into game shape., have no idea though.missed out on the past few weeks of inside info, my question is, why was Jenkins being subbed in and out of the previous games for Lucas?
Weird how it had to be Jenkins every time, couldnt rotate him in for Whitehair? Or even Mustipher himself in the 1-2 game window where Patrick was snapping in practice but before Cody got injured. So strange!My guess is to get Patrick into game shape., have no idea though.
odd, isn't the center position the least workload besides for snapping the ball?My guess is to get Patrick into game shape., have no idea though.
Cody and Musty earned it in Wed practices bro.Weird how it had to be Jenkins every time, couldnt rotate him in for Whitehair? Or even Mustipher himself in the 1-2 game window where Patrick was snapping in practice but before Cody got injured. So strange!

entropy...Shuffling your OLine like a deck of cards each week, or even each play, has a long track record of success in the NFL.
So many of your ELITE teams will consistently rotate OLine to keep up a regular level of entropy in that huddle.
I would actually expect to see Eberflus switch this up to an OLine that works much more like lines/pairings during a hockey game.
The way this would work is you do pairings of the OTs, and then groups of 3 for each "line", and you rotate new guys in on every single play.
The objective, as we all know, is to have an OLine with so much entropy that they have no clue what the snap count is, nor perhaps even what play has been called.
In the end this is a net benefit to the Bears, as they tend to find success when the opponent cannot guess the play because the Bears OLine has no idea what it even is.
This kind of football genius is only seen once every 3-4 years in Chicago.
The amount of people on Bears twitter doing cartwheels over this change is hilarious to me. Sure, you got rid of Mustipher, who's probably the worst OL they had starting. But you still have Patrick moving to C, who's been bad at guard (and IIRC graded out better at guard in Green Bay). And you have Jones still at LT, who has struggled for like 3 weeks now and been bad overall. And you're throwing in Schofield, who lost the starting RG job to a guy that never played the position because he looked so bad in preseason. So, you're still going from 3 bad OL to 3 bad OL. Marginal upgrade at best.
entropy...
all that randomness would possibly backfire, right? Which teams succeed with this formula?
