(sorry for the duplicate)
This is the kind of tiresome national coverage I was talking about the other day that prompts pushback from fans.
Courtney Cronin, ESPN's new beat reporter for Chicago, does nothing to correct Ryan Clark who has been nattering on about the same thing since before the draft. He has a perception of the roster that is based solely on headlines. I'm assuming she's been at practices, right?
Neither mentions how the Bears have shored up the line with recent signings of Rieff and Schofield, which helps Fields. They don't talk about the clear difference in coaching or the resulting buy in. The narrative is entirely focused on lack of high draft picks or big free agent spending. They don't even know EQ was ahead of Harry on the depth chart and has been a consistent connection for Fields lately.
Even when they're talking about Getsy and scheme, it's solely about Montgomery. There's no mention of the strength of that room with Herbert playing well last year or the new additions in Ebner, Evans, and Blasingame.
And I guess we never spent a 2nd round pick on a TE.
