    Reading is fundamental people. The title alone says depth and YES , team depth , much less D-line is a problem. Was last year as well.
  • @g13magurany
    As a die hard Bears 🐻 fan , yes Caleb, it’s good to have Bold Goals , wanting to strive to be better than the GOAT. F yeah 👍 I like the attitude……. But let’s make it to the playoffs first b4 we get ahead of ourselves !
  • @Nautilus1972
    Nope. The interior of the OL is way more important - protecting the direct route to our franchise QB. The defense can wait.
  • @jamestyrrell5315
    Disagree. The Sweat effect will propel the Bears D-line to a top 5 group. Dexter, Pickens & Robinson will all improve. Booker will develop. The concern is depth.
  • @johnnysilver5866
    Rome wasn’t built in a day, be patient yall. If we get D line and O line pieces in the draft next year we guna be fucking scary
  • @ScoKnows
    If dLine is our weakness we in trouble 😅
  • @shake6321
    QB is our biggest weakness. putting your faith in a rookie qb with a D2 second year player as a backup are a recipe for disaster. i love the talent on the bears but we prob another year away from being great. we are very weak at QB and DLINE which are the 2 most important parts of a football team. if things go perfect, such as caleb being good from day 1 and our dline staying healthy then we can win. but if caleb plays like a rookie and sweat doesn’t get help we could easily win only 5 - 7 games.

    Davis is a vet and Davis is a Great player.. anyone that says otherwise doesnt know what they are talking about. Sheldon should not be playing Guard, period. Bates is better in 1v1 pass pro that Sheldon so Bates should be playing Center
  • @ismaelrodriguez3214
    It’s the same dline from last year since sweat his been here. They performed great. Don’t hype negativity
  • @ragingoracle6239
    Valus is making this team, anyone htat thinks otherwise doesnt know what they are talking about.. Best average last year..
  • @MaynardGKrebs-tt1dd
    Flus and Pace are really really counting on big improvement from Dexter, Pickens and Robinson.
  • @juliusblackwell342
    Listen y'all got to stop coming up with these fake-ass lofty expectations that we don't expect the second year 4th round player to even come close to if you becomes an excellent player this year it's fucking great the u all not going to keep on setting up expectations for them to feel so you can then at the end of the season start hollering they should get rid of them that is not what your job is and frankly we're tied of it
  • @Irving-gp9oc
    GREAT!!!! Why wait for the 2025 Season!!! Hoping NATE is outta here during the middle part of this F'in SEASON!!!
  • @cimerians
