**OFFICAIL** Bears 2024 Regular Season News & Schleisse - FTO Preferred - No ALTS! Derailing Is Discouraged!

Yes but why don’t teams want Yannick long term though?

To be fair, Arden Key hasn't been anywhere long-term either. He's been on 3 teams in 5 years. And actually Ngakoue at least finished his rookie deal with 1 team.

Turned it off after he couldn’t even recite the correct number of sacks

Anderson is interesting, because he's the rare college prospect that is coming to the league with pretty polished hands. He's very savvy. He uses a bunch of different pass rush moves and has plenty of counters. But he's kind of a jack of all trades, master of none type. He doesn't have Parsons level speed. He doesn't have Mack's strength. He doesn't have Von Miller's bend. But I think he's a high level pass rusher that does everything well enough to have double digit sack upside.

I've said it before, heck even mocked him to us in my first draft, but, looking at your concerns, I think I'd rather go with Trenton Simpson at the Will over Anderson at DE. You'd get the same type of master of none joker card Defender, but with much more explosion. Don't forget, Simpson can and has pass rushed.

I get what you're saying, but great FAs don't really exist. Daron Payne is about to be franchised, several other players will be as well, and guys like Conklin and Elgton Jenkins were re-signed. When you sign anyone, odds are they are going to be "good-not-great". Just the nature of free agency.

I think Jawaan Taylor and Dre'Mont Jones are the type of guys you want to spend on. Young, good, durable, and just hitting their primes. I'd give those dudes 4 year deals for big money all day. The rest, I would agree. Though, I don't see TE, LT and QB as issues and they aren't places the Bears are going to add anyone super significant.

I agree I think J. Taylor & D. Jones would be ideal.

Agree and hope so, I want Monty back.

I didn't recognize him with the swim cap on.

Absolutely

 

[pdxbearsfan]

Can he be signed immediately or do they have to wait for FA to begin?

He's good to go now like D. Carr, and Muhamid.

Simpson is going to get overrated by people having visions of Micah Parsons. He can rush the passer, but you don't want him doing that primarily like Parsons does at this point. That being said, nobody thought Parsons would rush the passer like he has either. And Clemson's defense, while well coached, doesn't appear to be detailed in terms of developing pass rush plans or moves for their players. They rarely stunt as well. But Simpson is, what I think would be, an ideal Will in the Eberflus defense. If he develops as a pass rusher, even better. But I love him as a sideline to sideline guy and volume tackler.

Football 101: 4-3 Scheme Breakdown With Matt Eberflus

www.colts.com

If you listen to Flus, he is describing a Cover 2. No Cover 2 team plays Cover 2 all the time or even a majority of the time but that is his background as he trained under Marinelli.

He is in that video describing Cover 2. However, he lines up in Cover 3 more than Cover 2. This is from 2021, Eberflus last year in Indy.
He ran Cover 1 man about the same as he did Cover 3. Those were followed by Cover 4 and Cover 6. Cover 2 is a slither. He rarely ran it in 2021.

Bullshit. We were already told by someone else that the Packers are done with Rodgers.

If the Jets can grab Carr, that'd be the better move. It wouldn't cost any picks, and it's entirely possible that Rodgers is just a name at this point and not a top tier QB anymore, thus not being much better than Carr anyway.

I'd do Carr over the diva but read Carr stinks in bad weather games.

This would be a great Bears draft if there were no trades. Don't think a couple of guys make it to where they have us getting them though.

Why does it matter that he can and has pass rushed if Flus blitzes only 18% of the time? Unless you plan on using him like Parsons there is no way in hell Flus is drafting an off ball LB in the top 15 IMO.

 

[pdxbearsfan]

Any particular reason you think Poles would choose Wilson over Anderson?

If you mean Tyree Wilson I feel he may be a better pro than Anderson, look at his tape and measurables.

I dont see a strictly off-ball LB being drafted here either, but the blitz % is something I want to address.

Where do you find stats for blitz %? I want to know specifically because I want to look back at what his blitzing numbers were as a DC. The defensive talent outside of DB might be so bad that 18% is not representative.

Not upset at all, guy. You're this upset that someone said 8 sacks instead of 7 sacks for 2022?

2nd table has it. He has always been around 20%. It is a fundamental tenet that you try and generate a rush with just the front 4.
