If Auden Tate ever becomes a big part of this offense I'd wager something went very wrong.

I wanted that Teven Jenkins from Okie State.   

But just listened to a Bears podcast, he's been out all camp with some kind of phantom injury and every Bears fan thinks he's damaged goods.


So it could be a LOT WORSE! 

The thing about Chase that tells me he will be fine is his mental makeup.   He works hard.  It will all start to slow down for him soon.  He's a young one yet.

Chase just burnt Darius Phillips and got some good separation.

2. I also thought it was Ja’Marr Chase’s best practice so far. Here he runs a great route to beat Chidobe Awuzie for a TD in a red zone 7-on-7 period pic.twitter.com/uI6gYSyC4J

You need to check these things five times. The fifth time is where the truth lies.

That was a very nice route by Chase

Like, I understand that people have different view points and people won'tsee anywhere close to eye to eye, but maaaaan some of this stuff just makes me wonder. I just don't get keeping the foot on the gas of the negativity train.

Chase has had 3 weeks of actual practice... only 1 of which was in pads... after a year off. Like, give him a minute. lol

Yeah it was, that was almost uncoverable.

If only we had drafted Sewell....the whole line would block better, every WR would catch like they have stickem on their hands and Burrow could will the ball with his MIND to his receivers without ever winding up.  

What WERE we thinking?!?!?!?!

Which is strange to me. I am the opposite.

Would rather be happy and us winning a Super Bowl than right and us sucking it up.

Your definitely right. But as someone who was starting to get a little negative its not just that we took Chase at 5 its that we passed on one of those early lineman and the one we did take in the 2nd appears to be having some growing pains. But its only a few weeks for him as well. I just think with the slow start to camp it got some ppl myself included a little more on edge than they should have been. I think were all just ready for some football. That hopefully doesn't involve our QB getting hit a billion times.

From the kool aid drinkers.......Chase = the 2nd coming of Randy Moss. 



I'm somewhere in the middle.  Happy we got Chase and hopeful he turns into a solid WR for us for years to come.  But also, acknowledging the fact he's in his very first TC and hasn't even seen his first game yet.  

Ups and downs, strikes and gutters......its all part of the process.  



I remember reading a report back in the day on ESPN's website about when Jerry Rice was a rookie receiver, he had a practice once where he dropped every ball thrown his way, never had a single catch in that practice.   The coaches were thinking of dropping him right after that practice, but Joe Cool talked them out of it, asked them to give him one more shot at the next practice.  

Close, but it was actually everyone else that wanted to bench him and Walsh was the one that stayed in his corner. I remember reading an article about Rice and the wide open offense of MVS when i was a senior so i always kept an eye on him. I remembered the hoopla you're speaking of and reading about it so i went digging and this is what i found.

From the sounds of it our whole secondary has been looking good. I'm really excited to see how they stack up with Tampa's WR's.

Yeah, Hilton has been great, Waynes has been damn good and our Safeties have been damn good.

We all know Bates and Bell are expected to be good but Ricardo Allen was a fantastic pick up IMO.

It took like 4 seconds though. Not sure Joe will have that kind of time. Would have to be a bootleg
