End to a strange era of Bears history where a guard was the face of the franchise. He might be the poster boy for the bizarre Phil Emery reign where the team completely bottomed out and was the laughingstock of the NFL. Olin gives you an honest evaluation of players, the only bright spot on the grab ass Holmes post game show.

Face of the franchise? :lol:

That's an all time bad take.

that was a bad pick. you don't pick a 25 year old guard in the first round. Jeepers. dude played three full seasons.

Just accept it. George McCaskey himself called him that, was first guy quoted after games, only pro bowler in 2017, top 100 all time player. Guessing your not a long time fan?

I think he did. The thinking after that was that Long was a starting caliber tackle but an all pro guard. Then the injuries happened.

They signed Dax Reymond off the practice squad to replace Long. This is a guy who they wanted to redshirt for a year on the IR but came on a ton physically and they actually paid him out a settlement in order to re-sign him to the practice squad. Now a month later he's on the 53. Bears rolling with five TE now.

This is a small but perhaps telling indication of what is to come.

Their signing multiple TE's tells me that they don't believe in the guys dressing.
