A couple of key differences:
1. Bijan was a top 10 pick and is a rookie. As much as anything else, his placement as 3rd on the depth chart can be coaches playing games and making him "earn" his spot that everyone knows he basically has as the starter in waiting. There are 'only' 2 guys ahead of him. I don't follow the Falcons to know how many snaps he is really getting in practice which is the true barometer of where the coaches feel a player sits.
2. Vildor is entering his 4th year in the league and is listed in the "other" group which consists of 4 CB's. So, actually, the Bears do not even have him at 3rd string. They have him in the group below 3rd string. There are, at minimum, 6 CBs listed ahead of Vildor in that Bears depth chart. We don't even know how they view him with the group of "other" at this point. I honestly cannot remember hearing his name called, good or bad, in this training camp by any media or fan tweet. So, how many reps is he getting? Any? Vildor is going to have to play lights out in special teams to have any chance of making the roster this year.

Thanks for the unsolicited opinion about stenberg that has absolutely nothing to do with what I said

Appreciate you writing all this but i think we all already knew all of this, at least i did. I've already said that i don't think Vildor makes the Bears 53 because of all the CB's that played well last year and the CB's we drafted in this draft who all have length, which Vildor doesn't have, and is something we all know Flus wants.

No one. literally no one expects him to.
It’s not even prime dumpster dive season. That doesn’t happen until the 19th when they get first pick of the NFL’s trash.

Fair but the reports out of camp have not been good these past few days. They should have drafted a center.

Pretty sure the Bears only wanted him for one year. There was a tweet about how he was looking for a multi year deal and that ultimately the Bears got what they want but paid a little more for it, hence the $10M

I think it’s means what ever the coaching staff want it to mean. I don’t think there’s a given rule for what teams do the 1st preseason game.
Apparently some teams turn up the defense (HOU-PAT) game.

Bears have had a great look at their backups this pre. They're obviously not happy.

Then why the Bijan 3rd string comment? Pick a fucking lane.

I don't know why but the 'first pick of the NFL's trash' comment made me laugh. Just imagining ROGER saying "with the 1st pick of the 2023 NFL Trash Draft, the Chicago Bears select...." is a visual I find funny to think about. I will definitely be stealing that line so thank you in advance.

I am waiting for someone to ask Parkins and Spiegel what their CCS handles are during the question segment at the end of the show.

Meh. They have a scouting department for a reason. Maybe they like the player (at least more than who we they cut) without having to not like the guys ahead of him.

Totes but also just this shit of drafting pre-injured picks in the first round only to move them to guard a year after they move off injured reserve almost every. Fucking. Time
