Russell Shepard should've been cut that first day of moves when we released Stew and Coleman. I have no idea why he's still on the roster. He's owed a $375k roster bonus. I doubt that will have much of an impact on whether or not we cut him. We could pay that out and still save $1.7M by releasing him.

Shep will get cut with post June 1st designation as soon as we add another WR in FA or by trade like Crabtree OR when we draft one in the first 4-5 rounds. But not until that guy is on the roster. Say what you will but having Shep as a #5 is better than many other options, if it came to that. I think we will upgrade still in FA and/or draft but in the off chance it doesn't work out and fall that way then we have Shep as insurance and on ST.

Honest to god, I'd rather have Bersin out there than Shepard.

Shepard played in nearly a third of our offensive snaps and converted that playing time into 17 catches for 202 yards and 1 TD. That's terribad.

      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.
