The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Really odd listening to the local "football experts" attempts to puff up Nagy's offense early on in his tenure. Remember Bernstein in particular going on and on about how you really don't need good tackles in this offense because the ball is gone so quickly, huh? How many times has a Pace/Nagy era LT or RT completely whiffed on a block leading to a strip sack or sack at critical moments.

Then you had Hub and the rest of the goofs completely dismissing Olin when he pointed out that Daniels was way too small to be anything other than a replacement level guy at G, the only place he made sense was at C, he sucks at C, so they plug in an even smaller UDFA and give him the job without brining in competition. Pace has consistently filled the roster with undersized guys at C (Grasu/Daniels) when Nagy calls shotgun run/RPO which required the interior of the line to be able to at least stalemate the DT/NG, but with little guys in the interior the plays get blown up with regularity which then forces the QB to leak out of the pocket where your piss poor tackle also get beat.

FWIW, Olin likes Daniels a lot at guard. I think Daniels also has one of the highest PFF ratings at his position for the season. Personally, I thought he got off to a pretty rough start this season but has looked better in the past several games.

Jenkins looked much better tonight.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Cut Ifedi today.

Daniels tends to get overpowered and turned by bigger DT's, he does have some nice athleticism, but is never gonna root out a DT on 3rd and one, and is injury prone. Mustipher is even more apt to get blown up at the line of scrimmage, so your interior is undersized and lacks in technique.

Remember Olin saying that the reason Hiestand was fired was because he told Pace/Nagy that they did not have the talent on the roster to run Nagy's system, but if an NFL team is not stout enough on the inside of the OL to at least get a stalemate on a 3rd and one dive play, then the team is really not capable of accomplishing much offensively.

One of the great failings of the Pace era is his dismissive attitude toward building a quality OL, it will be interesting to see how many players are replaced when the next group takes over, but with glaring needs at CB, WR, DT, TE, and ILB, it's likely they just sign a FA C and go with what they have hoping the young tackles can develop and that they can get another year out of Whitehair and Daniles.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Fields then added: “That and more stupid penalties.”

The Bears run blocking is fine .

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

Tevin was not so terrible last night. That holding call on him was pure BS. We still won't be spelling his name correctly just yet.

looked better than Darrisaw yesterday

anyway, maybe we should slow down a little on drawing conclusions about rookies.

I feel much better about him today. I wish his arms were still a few inches longer.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

I guess you lost your bet.

I would never bet on the Bears but if I did I would take the over for dumb penalties. Thayer agrees it was stupid btw. Outside of some meatball instinct what is there to defend? The defensive play was perfectly legal and they were walking away when Jenkins ran over there. Result? Penalty and punt…woo-hoo! Save the fake bravado for a time it is justified, like the Kendricks hit. That was deserving of retaliation.

No, he does not.

You said last night during your self assured posting on the subject that you would bet that Fields wouldn't be supportive of what Jenkins did. You said it with such authority someone might be mistaken that you knew what you were talking about.

I assume this is what you're referring to: "I’d bet Fields would rather start 15 yds closer to the end zone." I'll stand by that. If Fields were to answer that question differently that would have been a real shock.
