If you are playing all of your backups and third string in a game, it wouldn't be as bad. And if they are taking cheap shots at your most important player, they have absolutely earned All of the cheap shots they get in retaliation.

I hear what you are saying, but I would absolutely be telling my players to go all out and not be afraid of any penalties based on the cheap shots that are being talked about that happened earlier in the week

I feel you. The emotional part of me says if you hit my guy, I hit yours. Its how we did things in baseball but the last thing the Bears want is extra cheap shots at Fields. If Richardson gets dinged up the Colts just go to Minshew.

Josh Allen out there down 14-0 and scrambling around for about 40 yards on a sack.   Seems like I wouldn’t allow him be out there. 

He absolutely is one of those guys that doesn't need to play preseason football considering his running style.

Bears have a long history of finding well above average running backs in rounds 3+ and every sing points to Roschon Johnson being the next in line for that title. He looks like the best back on the team running and catching the ball. Not sure they give him much time over Herbert and Foreman during the regular season but I think by seasons end he is a huge part of the rushing attack.

Bagent just drove the Bears down the field like 85 yards after a penalty to score. He only had one bad throw on the drive and he missed a read on the touchdown run he had to end the drive. Johnson came out of the backfield and there was nobody covering him for an easy pitch and catch. Bagent panicked a little and took off to the opposite side of the field and dove head first for a touchdown.

Darnold is what he is.  A decent backup. You hope he never sees the field. The fact he was our starter is sad. Ol silver platter Sam serving up INT's and game losing drives. That said Baker was even more disappointing.  Where's the fire Baker? You can't bake anything on the warm setting. 40 yards passing in a half ain't gonna cut it.

Malik Willis looks so much more comfortable than he did last year.

He’s currently 9/16 for 80 yards and 1 TD (along with 1 pick), he also has 7 carries for 72 yards.

I was shocked to see he played the entire game. How often do you see that in preseason? The Titans must really be torn about him lol.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
