Did they confuse him with Eddie Jackson?

I'm not sure that he is a good fit for this defense.

He has good ball and coverage skills. He can even play both sides. I'm not sure why he wouldn't fit.

Will be interesting to see how they deal with the vets that are left on the team as they try to change the culture of the team. Heard Fields stuff yesterday where he alluded to teams bad culture under Nagy, which is odd considering all the "Bears Experts" kept reporting how the team had the best culture in the league and that Nagy had not lost the players, which was utter BS and an insult to anyone that watched the games and saw guys giving half ass efforts. If they run Cover-2 as base D it will require guys to be in the right gap and the DB's to be positioned accurately, no more of the freelancing or stat seeking stuff you saw last year.

The players got used to Nagy's country club atmosphere and grab ass (I know some people love it when I use that term) practices, but the new group seems to expect the players to be more engaged and will undoubtedly run more organized practices and actually expect the players to be able to run the plays they have implemented as part of the weeks game plan. There is a possibility this will provide an improved level of execution offensively, but given the lack of talent it may not yield results.

A culture change was definitely needed based solely on performance.

I'm somewhat excited to see what Robert Quinn will do this year. He broke the Bears single season sack record despite playing on a team that was behind in most games, didn't have Mack/Hicks, and had the worst secondary in the NFL. Not many people recognize how impressive his season was.

Bad shoulder, and the Tampa 2 requires more tackling from the CB position.

_________________

If they can get any pressure on the QB you should see any CB with ball skills have opportunities for picks, but there is always that 10-15 yard out available in the space between that opens up in front of the CB's as they drop into their zones, a good vet QB with an adequate arm will hit that as soon as he reads the coverage, so you do need some coverage skills and size at the position, expect Johnson to fit, but it will be an adjustment for him.

You could cut his legs off at the knees, replace his severed appendages with a couple cinder blocks, and he'd still be a more capable corner than Kindle Vildor, who was playing with the first team defense yesterday.

Josh Schrock tweeted that Poles really likes Vildor because he's got some of the most unique skills in the league, particularly his ability to move his head from side to side while reading formations.

He's a nickel guy at best. I liked Duke better there.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp said on
@dpshow
that Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson was one of the best defensive backs he played against this past season.

Kupp said that Johnson challenges you and he doesn’t get the respect or credit that he deserves.

Hearing them talk up the FA LB Morrow quite a bit, even heard Grote say he expects both him and Roquan to have over 100 tackles.

That would be quite a jump in production for Morrow because his career high is 78 and he never started for an entire season with the Raiders, who replaced him and did not re-sign him. We are also hearing the two top draft picks being talked about as not only starters, but as being productive players as rookies.

I am all for taking a sip of the Blue and Orange Kool-aide, but there is a need to tamp the brakes a bit here, at least until we see a pre-season game or two.

Continue to be pissed off when reading or hearing the suddenly available real takes on how bad Nagy and his coaching staff were last year. Everyone that watched the team knew this, yet we had our intelligence insulted each and every week by the Hub lead "Bears Experts" collection of goofs at good ole WSCR, cannot listen to the station I used to enjoy immensely anymore because I do not trust or believe anything they say about anything, once credibility is gone it cannot be regained.

And apparently in violation of the rules.

Yeah, that too. Football has to be more important than beer for Jenkins. Especially after back surgery.

If you watch Braxton Jones tape you see a dude with incredible long arms and some athleticism, but you also see he lacks power and technique, he can get stronger and learn how to position his body better, but that usually takes a year of NFL level strength training and coaching.

Will not be able to tell anything about the line until they start contact and you can see who has the ability to play in an outside zone scheme with requires quickness off the ball and the ability to move your feet in order to push defenders laterally, it may turn out that neither Borom or Jenkins fit the system, especially at tackle.

Whitehair had a lot of great things to say about him.

Jenkins is a dead man walking

I'm not sure Eberflus realizes what a folk hero Jenkins became because of one after the whistle penalty. Bears blogs and Bears fans on Twitter love 'The Enforcer'. The Bears are probably going to be bad anyway. Keep Jenkins as a starter, but get Jones ready for when The Enforcer gets ejected for throwing hands in the 1st quarter.
