Not true. I've known that sigma for a while. Just because his username says he's the new guy doesn't mean that he's not known or even that he's new.

Matt Nagy ran similar trick plays in KC before being hired by the bears. Remember how those trick plays worked out in Chicago?

I'm cautious of any OC who gets to work with the best offense in football. Thomas Brown, on the other hand, has turned around and anemic offense that went roughly 30 drives without a TD and has Mike Tomlin vibes.

Johnson is in a perfect situation for himself right now.

Campbell & the elite OL make him look perfect. Campbell sets the tone for the team and encourages them to play with a physicality and edge. The OL affords him the flexibility to attack the defense in any which way he wants.

People are saying he's not a culture setter - just an elite playcaller (in part because he's in an elite situation). Adding in 2-3 top flight OL talents would help him replicate the OL in Detroit but he doesn't strike me as a absolute slam dunk hire.

If Brown can win some games down the stretch here and has the team playing a tough, smart brand of football I think he's going to be the dude.

It was actually 2 players and again he was voted 4th best DC so that means the majority of Vikings players voted for him.

If he is as hated on the Vikes as you are trying to pretend then 28 DCs must be even more hated and Ben Johnson must be more hated as Johnson didnt even make the list of top 5 OCs as voted by the players.

I really shouldn't ask this considering this is a Bears Only thread...but are you a fan of other Chicago sports or do you solely post here because the Bears are a rival team? I can get it if you are a fan of the Sky or the Fire or whatever, but if you have spent a decade here and the majority of that time the Lions were basement dwellers....man that is some dedication. Its sad dedication, but dedication nonetheless.

Source: Tush push ban has support in competition committee​

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Green Bay Packers' proposal to ban the push sneak, popularly known as the tush push, has support within the competition committee, a source with direct knowledge told ESPN on Sunday.

Another source with direct knowledge of competition committee thinking said the proposal would be "hotly contested" among the coaches, general managers and owners as they gather for league meetings this week.

Sources: NFL owners OK kickoff, OT, replay rule changes​

NFL owners approved a variety of rule changes Tuesday, including a modification of the dynamic kickoff that will place the ball after touchbacks at the 35-yard line and a tweak to the regular-season overtime period to mirror postseason rules, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

The kickoff proposal, submitted by the competition committee, was broken into two parts by owners Tuesday.

While owners approved moving the touchback spot from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line, proposed changes to offside kick rules were tabled by owners for more discussion at meetings scheduled for May. The committee had proposed some mild alignment tweaks and also suggested eliminating the requirement that onside kicks can occur only in the fourth quarter.

The NFL projects that its kickoff return rate will rise to between 60% and 70% with touchbacks moved to the 35-yard line, competition committee chairman Rich McKay said last week.

Both teams will now be able to possess the ball in overtime in the regular season, even if a team scores an offensive touchdown on its first possession after the proposal, submitted by the Philadelphia Eagles, was passed by owners Tuesday. The original proposal was for a 15-minute overtime period, but that was amended to 10 minutes, the sources told Schefter.

Owners also approved proposals to expand the league's replay-assist system, sources told Schefter. The on-site replay official will be permitted to reverse flags that are thrown for hits to defenseless players, along with fouls for face mask, horse collar, tripping and running into/roughing the kicker. The replay official will not be permitted to call a penalty for a play in which no flag was thrown, however.

Meanwhile, Detroit's proposal to eliminate an automatic first down as a penalty imposed for defensive holding and illegal contact did not pass, despite the Lions' pleas, sources told Schefter.

ESPN's Kevin Seifert contributed to this report.

Sources: Tush push ban vote tabled by NFL owners​

NFL owners have tabled voting on the Green Bay Packers' proposal to ban the tush push in order to have further discussion, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Even though the league has said there haven't been any injuries reported as a result of the tush push, the potential risk involved in the Philadelphia Eagles' version of the quarterback sneak has sparked intense discussions.

The league, on Sunday, presented the injury risk of the push sneak based on data modeling, saying defensive players are at risk while launching head-first, and offensive linemen at risk because of their bent posture operating in a narrow window, which could lead to neck injuries.

The Packers, who lost to the Eagles in a wild-card playoff game, also cited pace of a play as a reason to consider eliminating the play. Bills coach Sean McDermott is leading the push to get rid of it even though Buffalo used it more than any team other than the Eagles.

"I feel where I'm most concerned is, even though there is not significant data out there to this point, my biggest concern is the health and safety of the players, first and foremost," McDermott said at the league meetings on Monday. "It's two things. It's force, added force, No. 1, and then the posture of the players, being asked to execute that type of play, that's where my concern comes in. ... I'm not a doctor. I'm not going to get too deep into that situation there, in terms of how much data, how much sample. I don't think that's really always the best way to go. There is other data out there that suggests when you're in a posture like we're talking about, that can lead to serious injury. I think being responsible and proactive in that regard is the right way to go."

The Eagles began using the play in short-yardage situations in 2022. Two or three players line up behind quarterback Jalen Hurts and push him forward. Several other teams, including the Bills, began using it but no team has matched Philadelphia's success rate.

This is the third offseason that the competition committee has reviewed the play, but the first time a club has submitted a rules proposal aimed at eliminating or restricting it.

The Eagles and Bills have scored a touchdown or achieved a first down on 87% of their attempts using the play, while the rest of the NFL has been successful on just 71% of attempts, per ESPN Research.

ESPN's Kalen Kahler and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

So, McDermott is concerned about the health and safety of the players but not actually enough to not use the play. That's a bit hypocritical.
