Starting off with a couple of no brainers (Bears requesting both Lions coordinators)

Jets, Bears and Saints have also asked about Glenn.

Expect the Lions coordinators to be popular; have seen some speculation that Aaron Glenn might be a good choice for the Saints...

Holy sh-t, an embedded tweet 😀

Russini seems to think this might have something to do with the Jets not asking to interview Johnson (so far, at least).

Johnson has apparently reached the status of being able to decide who he will or won't talk to.

More about Johnson...

THe mention of wanting "alignment" with the front office could mean a couple of things. He might have someone from Detroit he's hoping to take with him. If so, he could be looking for a team that's doing a full house cleaning (but not the Jets).

In light of the rumor that he wanted to go to Jacksonville, it's worth pointing out that at least for now the jaguars have retained GM Trent Baalke (heaven only knows why) but owner Shad Khan has stated that the next head coach will report directly to him. 

Is that "alignment"? 🤔

Potentially interesting...

Poles calls Lions OC Ben Johnson a "brilliant play caller" but says that what the Bears need is a "leader of men".

May very well just be posturing, but it could be that's the profile of what the Bears want in a head coach.

I think it's more posturing towards the Bears fan base because he knows Johnson would be a long shot to take the job but it's who the fan base likely wants to pair with Williams.

It's his way of making it look like they're turning him down as opposed to him turning them down.

I think he'll consider the Jags and Patriots because of their QB situation, but I said it in a thread the other day, I very well could see him stay in Detroit for one last season to try and get hired by whoever has the #1 pick next year so he gets Manning as his QB.

Not the world's biggest Trevor Lawrence fan but if I'm choosing between him and Caleb Williams... 😕

The Bears offensive weapons would be really appealing, but I think when you combine the awfulness of that franchise over the years and how good the rest of that division is looking for at least the next 5 years or so, it just wouldn't be the job I'd take if I was Johnson.  

Sure the Patriots have to deal with the Bills, but the NFC North has the Lions on the same level and then the Packers and Vikings are certainly better than the Dolphins and Jets right now and over the next few years.

Chicago has long been where quarterbacks and offensive coaches go to die.

Johnson is absolutely the guy I'd want if I was the Bears but I'm not sure I'd want the Bears if I'm Johnson. It all boils down to what he thinks of Caleb Williams. No questioning the WR talent and everyone knows they need to address the OL no matter what.

If I had to choose between the Bears and the Pats, that's a no brainer. The Bears have a roster built to win. New England is pretty far away from that.

Also, do I want a team that stuck with a bum like Eberflus too long or fired a hand picked New England guy after one year?

      Dates for Training camp are released

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
