They feel good about Quinn right now - sweet! Now if he can just walk to the cafeteria tonight without his foot detaching from the ankle they can keep feeling good about him all the way until practice begins.

Best things I heard him say:
1. I failed a lot as a head coach
2. It's not always the player's fault
3. I've learned a lot as a head coach

Not slamming Nagy, but you've got to admit your weaknesses to be better. This is a good sign.

I'm willing to see what happens this year, but this is it. You gotta wonder why he got hired. His learning curve has been too steep.. An NFL HC is not a 4 year OJT journeyman thing...lol.

Can't believe the media is actually are asking them. Given how touchy a subject it is and it being a medical thing at days end. Shit.

I'm going to shoot straight from the hip here. I remember watching Kansas City open the NFL season in New England a few years ago, and prior to the game, I thought to myself, "Oh man, this is going to be brutal. New England is going to destroy these guys." Nagy had that Bill Belichick defense chasing its tail and scored with them blow for blow, ultimately winning the game, shocking the hell out of me. I think that's when he won his head-coaching job, the very first game of that season.

Sometimes though, he gets into this mental game where he actually ends up trying to out-think himself. I imagine it plays out something like this:
"If I do A, he's going to counter 'A' with 'B'. I then need to counter with 'C', except he's going to expect me to counter with 'C', so I've got to keep him off balance and counter with 'D'." When that works, he looks like a genius. When it doesn't, you're wondering, "WTF is up with these lateral plays that don't make any yardage?"

Another thing I think works against him is, he hasn't in the past been great with tailoring his offense to his players. I've said this before, but KC not only has the best tight-end in the game, their receiving corps could win a 4x100 against any other team in the league. The Bears have never had that kind of speed. They're faster now than they were before, but what makes Tyreek Hill interesting is he isn't just blazing fast; he's not just a sprinter, he's a really good receiver. So every defense they face is scheming to stop Kelce since linebackers can't run with him and safeties can't cover him because of his size, as well as keep a lid on Tyreek Hill. That's at least 3-4 players that the defense has to allocate for two players on offense, every single play.

Adam Jahns - "Roquan Smith said he’s seen Eddie Goldman in Halas Hall."

Clearly, in hindsight, he sounded like he knew when he was doing and Pace was seduced.

Good word from Reid probably sealed the deal..

Not touchy at all. It is an important question considering the time an unvaccinated player will have to miss if they contract the virus versus a vaccinated player.

I understand why they would want to know, so they can figure out the eventualities that may occur. But as a health issue (much like injuries) they don't need to know.

C'mon now. It IS a touchy subject. Probably THE touchiest possible atm. Let's not hide being the façade of "just doing my job to educate the fans"..

To begin with, Nagy was not calling plays at the start of that season. He only started calling plays when Reid's play calling became somewhat stale, but that was later on.

He did do well when he started calling plays, so your point is still valid.

Someone during that abortion of a presser said that Ryan Pace was still learning on the job.

Hmm, I didn't realize that. I stand corrected!

Good to see. Now I hope the Bears take it slow with a player who sat out all of last season. Get him back to football shape.

Good word from Reid probably sealed the deal..

When Reid said that he was the best coach he ever had (or something similar), Pace had to listen.

Maybe Reid just wanted to get rid of him and he thought that would be the nicest way of doing it.

Actually, they do need to know if they are going to be interviewing them in close proximity. Remember the Delta strain is one of the most transmisible viruses known..
