Morning after thoughts *WEEK 7 EDITION*

From what I remember, Mitch had already developed a rapport with Whitehair from last season, so Nagy wanted to baby him as much as possible. (My paraphrasing)

 

Clearly the coaching staff feels more comfortable with Whitehair, and for all we know, maybe Trubisky wants him there. Maybe Daniels sucked balls in camp at C, maybe Daniels told them he would prefer to play guard... who the fuck knows.

Never said it was “nigh impossible” or “never happens”. You know what else happens every year? Guys get drafted at one position on the o-line, and sometimes high, and get moved to another. Happens constantly. And it seems that’s what’s going on here for the time being.

 

Whitehair was locked in at C as early as May, didn't you know? That's the problem I have with this. If it had been an open comp in TC that Whitehair won, fair enough. If Whitehair had looked good at C last year, fair enough. But neither statement is true.

No but the implication was clear. That the initial suggestion was so strange/outlandish/dumb/insert any descriptive negative word that bear-man won't try to walk back on, that it would cause you to question a posters football knowledge. We got it.

 

There was no implication for you to “get”.

I asked Rob a question, and I even prefaced it with a statement saying I think he knows football.

I’m not walking back on shit, because there’s nothing to walk back on.

 

Ok, so what was it about rob's statement that you found so puzzling then?

The part about taking two high draft picks and playing them in the positions that caused them to get taken high in the first place, as opposed to the Bears approach of playing both out of position and guessing it would turn out better? Or the fact that rookie Center's can be week1 starters, as happens every year, even overcoming all the challenges that entails, like snapping the ball....

Just seems strange cos what rob was suggesting was actually far more logical than the alternative the Bears chose. And you've def never struck me as someone who gets "puzzled" so easily.
