    They should emphasize the increased chances to catch a HR ball when buying bleacher seats. 

     

    Easy money. 💰

    Just out there by yourself.  You could let like 2 or 3 just sit there for a while and go collect them all at once.

    Maybe Howard hurts himself and you truly get nothing?  Maybe Howard gets funky because it's his walk year like Alshon did and he is a detriment to the locker room and team?

    Everyone knew he didn't fit and the bears were trying to find someone to make a deal, they made it happen.  Sometimes you have to move on if there isn't a fit 

      

    I mean you pretty much got nothing anyway.  It has a chance to be a 6th round pick in a year. 

    I don't think it's a big deal, but it's always good to have some depth at a position.

  3. Why not just keep Howard?  You pretty much just released him, why not keep him past the draft or even into preseason. 

    Maybe some team suffers a major injury and needs someone. 

    I know Howard had a somewhat down year last year, but he is 24 years old.  Kinda of a weird move.

    And he supposedly got an even bigger offer elsewhere that he turned down to be closer to home.

    He might have, but players say that a lot.  It's hard to prove how real it is. 

    Besides the Rams and Packers I didn't really here of any other teams looking at him.  I guess it's not crazy that maybe someone like the Colts with tons of cap space didn't try.

  5. INT are like sacks, they only tell part of the story. 

    Kyler Fackrell had two less sacks than Khalil Mack, that doesn't mean they are anywhere in the same ballpark as players. 

    These players play over 600 snaps.  The difference in talent doesn't come down to a hand full of plays.

    As I've said many times, whether it's HHCD or Amos, they were going to be one of the 2 or 3 worst players on the defense. It's about not being a complete fuck up out there and everything will be fine.

    As for PFF, that website is nonsense and anyone who trusts those "scouting reports" and "game recaps" are just as goofy.

    It's a tool for measuring players.  Just like reports by Football Outsiders. 

    It's not the end all be all, but I haven't seen anyone say it's complete nonsense.

    Spoiler alert: he has

    I listened to it also, they have been saying that Haha would be an upgrade because he is a ballhawk and Amos isn't, and he won't have to worry about covering as long because the bears have a much better pass rush.   Amos is awesome at run support, he is just ok at pass coverage.  Seems like haha is awful at run support and decent to good at pass coverage(I know he gets burned, I have seen the videos)

    He is actually really bad at both run stopping at pass coverage. He just takes the worst angles, I don't know what happened to him. 

    Early in his career I thought he was going to be really good.  Last two years and last year especially he was so bad.  I like him, he seems like a cool dude and good locker room guy.  He just got so bad the past two years.

     

    I'll take this over a player who has three or four INT, but also gives up a ton of big plays.

    Some speculation Bears might be investing in a wideout vs. running back with the newly freed up cap space. Are there any vets out there or on the block who are shorter-term deals that would be big pick-ups?  

    Not really.  Most of the guys worth getting are gone.
