3 "Bubble players" for Thursday night

I've seen Sandland miss the guy who blows up the run play on Stewart a few times now. If it's really about the best 53 I don't think he's on it.

 

I think people need to go back and look at Wegher's rushing performances from last preseason. He had the one catch in Buffalo and the two nice TD runs but his average over 29 carries was 3.8 yards. Amazing compared to this preseason but still, not great. 

I'm not saying I don't want him, I think he flashed a ton of quickness and tough running despite the numbers, but I think this year's struggle has made people exaggerate last year.

I think we will see all three stay. ST performance is a big deal right now and I think that will keep a roster spot for Wegher. I'm also not sold on Simonson being the guy that stays as the TE3. It's a complicated position, particularly in our system, and no one is expecting a rookie draft pick from the late rounds to bring it all together in one training camp.

And Cash... if you can't see him as the same kind of player that Thomas Davis was coming out of Georgia, then you're missing something important. I believe Shaq Thompson was drafted to be TD's successor, but he's carved out a spot for himself that's too important to shift him out of. Cash embodies that same type of radar-guided missile player that can both layout a receiver and shoot the gap and take down a runner.

Who do I think we'll lose instead of these three? Simonson, Norwood and I think they might even cut loose Bersin, a fellow that would be swept up by a receiver depleted team pretty quickly.

Unless Beau Sandland is really good on ST's, I believe he will be the first healthy Gettleman draft pick to be cut before he plays a single regular season game. Lucas is clearly the better receiver out of all the young TE's and Dickson probably isn't going anywhere. Contrary to popular believe that guy does a lot for this team on offense and ST's.

Wegher, and Cash are safe.  Beau is gone.  Write it down, mark the words, fish sticks and tits.  

I think Wegher and Cash are leaning to the safe side of the bubble, while Sandland looks like a TE looking to be picked up by some TE deficient team.

I agree with Jeremy on this one, crazy enough.  Beau has been so shitty, I don't think anyone would want him.

Sandland is in no danger of being picked up. He was next to last pick in the draft and hasn't shown much on film yet.

Guess I should have said 'hoping' instead of 'looking'. As a bottom of the 7th round rejection, he'd be looking, but likely nobody would be looking his way.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
