I'd be very concerned he's just a dud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 17 Author Share Posted October 17 16 hours ago, Flash Tizzle said: My theory is this Aikman story has been driven so hard by a Chicago media/fanbase still raw from the Cubs NLDS loss. They were already complaining about the Brewers showing the L flag two days prior to Bears game. So when they watched MNF and Aikman was giving his opinion of CW it was just too soon. I’m speaking very generally here, but Sox fans should be very familiar with the “national disrespect” angle. We’ve been dealing with it for decades, even during the WS run. I’m not even arguing the merits of it, because now….. there’s no argument for the White Sox deserving 30 seconds of airtime. But for a Sox fan and a Bears fan to be upset? Were used to it, boys. Even winning a SB won’t change anything. If Aikman hates CW, he’ll still hate him afterward. I'm not the biggest sports announcer complainer, but it really was up there with Chris Berman eulogizing the Red Sox for 3 innings in 2005. It was so over the top funny, mainly underscored by the blaming caleb for the bad snap, that it stood out. Is this "being driven so hard", I don't know, I think our sense of these things is manipulated now by there being a 'outlets' that can find short bursts on feeds that regurgitate stuff written days before.

caulfield12 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Traded D.Jones (backup to Mahomes) and Jonathan Taylor for Kyren Williams and Brian Thomas. Too risky? Already lost Nabers, tied 5-1 in 12 team league...next two opponents missing Nacua/Egbuka and St.Brown/D.Adams due to bye weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) I really don't want to trade for a RB. I think the Bears need someone who can generate pass rush. Also, given what we saw in Washington Monday I think we need to hold off and see if what we saw last week (in terms of rushing and defending the rush) is a real thing. If it is, don't mess with it. One thing I do know is we can't rush the passer. To me that's the need. Edited October 18 by kwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I do know is we can't rush the passer. To me that's the need. I would not buy unless you really thought a steal was there or just a complete game wrecker type player with a very long term outlook. This team is not a player away so now is absolutely not right time. Quite frankly if Kmet or Jones had value I might assess it. I probably would have said the same for DJ Moore but I think that is a year away. I don’t like the Kmet part cause just like Trapillo using high picks on guus that don’t really have major roster needs (or even fits is just not smart). TE early and a RT (on paper Trapillo looks like a fine fit at RT - but when you already have a top 10 pick there who they don’t seem to think he can be at LT) just isn’t the right use relative to other needs.
