I think they work on it together and come up with a consensus target of players. But at some point someone with sanity need to step in and take the ol/dl more seriously than the Matt Millen approach. There is a reason why there is a decade plus track record of losing
Hes running his scheme, I think a ton of similarity is unavoidable with the last stop where he also ran his scheme. I dont see a problematic amount of overlap.
The scheme worked in Detroit so if the results are similar I will have no complaints.
They're out here fighting windmills lol
I’m incredibly excited to watch the bears this year, at a bare minimum it should be much more fun to watch this offense.
Why do you think there isn't depth? We have no clue on how good Amegadjie can be. They drafted a tackle and a guard. They still have Bates, Kramer, and Murray among others as backups. What are you talking about? If teams lose starting OLine to injuries, they are usually screwed, because obviously backup linemen are backups for a reason. The depth is fine. I don't know what you're expecting. They literally signed/traded for 3 new starters in FA.
Somebody said in the draft thread that a fool had started a thread already doubting Ben Johnson. I came to see who started it and I must say, I would have won a bet.
Yes you will.
This is way, way more heavy on pass catching weapons than he had in DET. Three first rounders and two second rounders. He never had more than three in DET. Lotta mouths to feed and at the expense of EDGE, S, and depth at RB and IOL.I do like the players they got but as @cameronkrazie86 mentioned the o line is not solved. They could’ve drafted ersery to compete at LT but opted for the other guy, maybe it works outeven though there were big paydays and upgrades to the interior they did nothing to address depth, I suppose they’re happy with what they have. Something poles has said of the OL multiple times as it was a shit show.
I refuse to believe Loveland was just a poles pick. And when they drafted a slot WR at the top of round 2 Ben Johnson and Randle el were hugging in the war room celebrating. They clearly had a lot of input there.
It might work out for them, but as I mentioned I am officially skeptical of Ben Johnson. Not doubting him, but I’m a little worried.
My primary concern as I mentioned is that Ben Johnson came off as a flexible coach not relying simply on a system. Here he is recreating the Detroit lions. Something smells a little funny. If they put up numbers like the lions all be happy, but I’m not seeing it on paper just yet.
Just put me on ignore since all you can handle is circle jerk of bears ownership
kind of sux when your fellow homers throw you under the bus, doesn't it
I didn’t ignore it. You like the draft picks but having doubts about Ben Johnson already because he isn’t building the team like the Lions did. You are upset because Ben Johnson & Ryan Poles didn’t address positions that you wanted.
Read what I wrote again. Can’t fix everything in one draft with a new staff. Getting a new staff was a fresh start for Poles. I don’t want Poles to be the GM either. Facts are, he is not building a team for Johnson and Allen.
