Not my fault you enjoy consuming trash media.

Just because I shared the link doesn't mean I'm a fan of the show. It's slow news season and I can be an adult about my feelings for certain Chicago Media outlets. Almost a solid rebuttal though. Most fans want to here coach talk. regardless of who's asking the questions.

Tetairoa McMillan's Draft Stock in Jeopardy After Alarming Social Media Video Surfaces

Is Tetairoa McMillan's draft stock going to drop after this concerning video has surfaced?

I think Braxton Jones is about to have a career year. I’d still be for drafting his replacement in the first round. I don’t want to pay him a load of money and then watch him go soft.

I hope everyone keeps posting anything Bears. I'm adult enough to read or listen to the ones i choose to listen to.

 

[Runruffshod75]

I wonder if they consider pushing him inside. I’m not sure I want him as a swing tackle since we’ve never seen him healthy and with a full off season.

I hope so. I think they could mold him into a helluva good GUARD

Kenny Dillingham Makes Tough ASU Admission After Cam Skattebo’s Blunder Turned Costly at Pro Day​

MSN

The second Skattebo’s time hit the internet, the trolls came out like it was feeding time at the zoo. The fans were throwing shades like “Bro running like he got a refrigerator on his back,” and whatnot. But before anyone starts writing Cam off, let’s put some respect on history. You know who else ran a slow 40? Terrell Davis—Super Bowl champ, NFL MVP, 2,000-yard season club member. The man’s clocked a 4.7 and still torched the league. So, while this ain’t the best look for Skattebo, it also doesn’t mean he’s cooked.

Still reading and catching up on the thread, but I would point out that Terrell Davis was also a 6th round pick.

 

[Runruffshod75]

For me it is also, just like a lot of other fans here................BUT we really have to remember just who the Bears HC is, where he came from and how the Lions build their offense. Lions were built from the trenches out, then added the QB, WR's, TE, and RB's. Basically, the first thing Ben Johnson said was the Bears had to overhaul the OL; three new very good starters were added, with the QB, WR's and TE already in place. The last piece to his offense may be that 1st round level RB. Just following the breadcrumbs here but if Jeanty is at ten he is a Bear, if not it may be Hampton who with 35 days till the draft is rising as fast as any prospect.

If they trade back and take Omarion Hampton I wont be mad at all. I believe that Hamptons physical makeup, style of play and physical abilities translate better to the pro level than any other HB in this class.

He was but that wasn't the point they were making, the point was just that a RB that ran a slow 40 still went to the NFL and became a star RB in the NFL.

The NFL wasn’t quite as fast back then either.

He was but that wasn't the point they were making, the point was just that a RB that ran a slow 40 still went to the NFL and became a star RB in the NFL.

A few things:

1. I think Davis was very lucky to be the right guy, at the right time. He had one hell 3-4 year run in the league. It was also over 25 years ago. It's pretty dumb to think that just because Terrell Davis was a needle in the haystack a lifetime ago that suddenly a guy that is slow on tape and slow in the 40 will be the next Davis.

2. Davis was aided by that Denver team being just a great team - the OL, the scheme, and having a HOF QB. Again, right guy at the right place and time.

3. I do think some guys stand out where they are strong in a way that they do not lose a step when the pads come on. I can't remember now, but I would not be shocked to see Davis fall into that category. I always felt Urlacher was also like that - Urlacher was never considered 'slow', but his 40 time was 4.57 and yet you would see him run down guys that had much faster 40's. I do believe at least some of that was that those smaller, faster guys slowed a bit when the pads came on and Urlacher just didn't slow down with pads on. Again, I think Davis was probably similar.

4. IMO, overall speed of the game is faster now then it was 25-30 years ago. Hard to say how a Terrell Davis would be in today's game when modern linebackers now run 4.5 and sub 4.5 40's consistently and with the strength to keep the speed with pads on.

 

[RacerX]

Yes, it was a terrible pick.

For several months leading up to the draft that year my sig was "anyone but Benson", i pre-cringed cause I had no doubt our r3trd FO was clueless on true player evals and metrics and instead just drafted based on somewhat meaningless stats.

 

[Rawk]

Its smokescreen season but Ben really seems to love him « hes a football player ». I wanted Bowers last year and I would be happy with Warren. I think he would be a great toy for coach Ben offense.

This interview made me have to pee.

Cole Kmet is a great toy for bens offense

Why do you think that?

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Really good Dline discussion here. Have to scroll through a bit to get there

 

[alswank87]

Why do you think that?

It’s a contract year. He’s putting in extra work to come back strong.

He's been in a boot until a week ago. Where do you get the info he's "putting in extra work"?

Is it more work than last off season? If so, how? And how do you know?

My point is.....he's coming off an injury. He may have his best season. He may have similar to previous seasons. He may not be fully healthy when the season starts.
