I've wondered if they'll just try and bring braxton jones back on a shorter deal and just hope his ankle/leg is stronger with another year post fracture since it sounded like play strength was part of the issue for him
had questions about the Bears LT spot on the latest Football 301 mailbag pod (OUT NOW!), and I totally blanked on the type of injury Ozzy Trapilo had. Which now makes sense why a few of you had questions about it!
my answer:
It's pretty slim pickings in FA (duh), Nijman maybe as a stopgap/hold your breath type? Draft-wise there are some interesting names that might be available with their 1st round pick and at 57, too. But like I said on the show, would prefer they go DT. And would prefer any guy they drafted have OT/OG flexibility, to help add depth behind the vets.
I guess the silver lining is Josh Simmons was able to come back from a patellar tendon on a startingly quick timeline?
spent last offseason (fairly) talking about sack avoidance and now the discourse will be (fairly) about mechanics/accuracy. Hope we can see the same improvement in that as the sack avoidance
He usually does. Just needs some kinda sports psychologist to get him to CALM THE FUCK DOWN in the second quarter of games when everything he throws is a goddamn Randy Johnson heater. Someone introduce him to Kyle Hendricks he's retired he's got time
