I'm not sure how the preseason schedule is with 3 games now vs how it was when every team had 4 games, but typically things tend to ramp up and start taking shape after the first preseason game.

I know last year's camp was mostly closed to everyone. And 2 years ago was a long time ago. But I think it's normal for teams to err on the side of caution with injuries and nurse them beyond what is needed at times.

I think the Bears not signing a tackle says a lot. If there were any concerns about any of the starters or primary depth missing regular season time, the Bears would have done something. But whatever they had planned for the number of reps, practices, and preseason time for Jenkins, Ifedi, Jackson, etc. must still be feasible if they are not in panic mode.

I think this time next week, we will see non-veteran starters getting more practice time. I think you'll start to see Fields get some reps with the 1s. You'll start to see guys in the positions they envision them in.

So i take it that 1.5 mhp increase still translates to slow and being caught from behind.

Khalil Herbert takes it to the house
I was there...he was not caught from behind. It looked like he was stopped after few yards, some defensive guys gave up on play, and Montgomery broke out of the pile

Football wise yes he is knowledgeable, but he's become a big whiner over the last year.
He did like the extensions we gave to C.Leno and B.Massie when we gave them to them but he put out a ton of work on here about how bad they were when they didn't play up to those contracts.

If those duties include holding the play sheet and wearing the headset on the sidelines while Nagy follws him around keeping his headset cord from tangling up, I'm all in.
Serious question: who is really the better offensive mind, Nagy or Pederson?

How is a guy who has not played an NFL down better than someone who was top 5 in yardage last year?

Also, Monty got up to 20.33mph on that run you said he was "slow" in. Just letting you know, you can probably count on one hand the amount of backs in the league who can outrun a pair of db's to the endzone.
Same goes with QBs who can outrun a pair of DBs to the endzone. And we have one of them!

This is one of the main reasons people are moving away from Windy for competent Bears analysis and moving more towards me.

I agree Windy is washed and a big old baby now. So if you're looking for knowledgeable football posts, look no further than mine.

Nagy has never even produce an top 20 offense or won a playoff game and Pederson led 3 top 15, one #3, offenses in 5 seasns won 4 of 6 playoff games and a SB.
I am seriously not sure Nagy isn't the worst offensive minded offensive HC in the NFL. He has seriously done absolutely zero in his career when he was in charge of an offense other then choke away a playoff game for KC.

What did Peterson really do though? Word is most of it was because of the great Nick Foles at QB…

Listened to the Hoge and Jahns podcast. Jahns mentioned that they have seen Teven Jenkins doing work on the side that would put strain on the back. Examples included pulling a golf cart with weights in it one day and then on a different day pushing a sled up the Walter Peyton hill. But after those, then they would not see him for a day or two. So, clearly they are doing work testing his back and recovery. And if he did have a really serious back injury, I doubt you would have a guy doing those exercises to check anything.

I don’t know, I think it’s a career ending injury. He may never walk again.
