Been a bit since I’ve watched a JTO breakdown or really gotten anyone elses perspective on Caleb outside of Nate Tice’s recent breakdown on Yahoo

Here’s him breaking down the play I mentioned in the quote skeet below

Anyway, came away from this with my feeling even stronger about my opinions lol
November 26, 2025 at 2:28 AM
On the note of how he opens his answer to that mailbag question

I mentioned CROE in my last thread when I talked about Rome and called out how Caleb’s CPOE is impacted by our receivers also

Solak’s initial quip has a good bit of truth to it

Here are the numbers

Sent these to @xpensivedfstips.bsky.social after the game

3 TWPs (2 dropped ints and the strip sack) and a couple of missed throws (overblown imo)

Plus hitting BJ Schemed up magic and wide open throws (which is still good, I’ll explain later)

Made me get why PFF gave him such a low grade
November 25, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Why yes, I did use the Zero WR draft strategy…

In a PPR league…

With a custom lineup that skews towards drafting WRs…

If you think I’m crazy, then Yahoo is fucking nuts for this grade! (PFF also gave me a B+)

But, obv draft grades don’t matter much

imo, I’m gonna be walking a tight rope this yr

Ben Johnson's here for the Bears Offense!

Definitely excited to see him and those big boys up front on that revamped offensive line go to work!

So excited I had to name my fantasy team BJs4BearsOF

I took a look at Regan’s presidency a couple years ago

My notes below shows how most major issues/events we have/faced took root during it (War on Drugs also led to police brutality)

A few of which Clinton then made worse

Also I thought deregulation and privatization were a good thing? /s

No Trade Bears Mock just for shits and or giggles

Same caveat with my last mocks, still early in the draft process, etc etc

This will probably change quite a bit till I actually put out an official one

But was happy with how the board fell so wanted to post it
February 10, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Doing some early Bears mocks

Feels like a lot of boards are still in flux

And I still need to do a lot of work on it myself

So don’t take these too seriously as they’re just the result of me feeling out the board

But figured it would be fun to share

Went to go check DBBs timeline on my old burner (I really should deactivate that account too)

And saw he reposted this tweet from Peter Schrager

Which seems to confirm the first part of DBBs tweet about Poles

Seems he was never the issue
January 21, 2025 at 12:26 PM
Saw this on Reddit and had to comment (deleted)

My dumbass somehow forgot Mike McCarthy (he is kinda forgettable lol but yeah he’s a valid choice)

IMO this whole narrative is overblown (Though BA over Trestman was obv even at the time)

GMs rarely get a 2nd chance

Good HCs rarely leave their team

Went to r/jaguars to see if they were as up in arms as Raiders fans were

Nope, they're fairly self aware

Baalke has Jags fans so defeated their subreddit's main image says it all (and it was a mugshot of Baalke before they switched it)
January 21, 2025 at 5:14 AM
Raiders reddit in shambles right now

Started off the day by trying to say their situation was better by comparing Jakobi Meyers stats to DJ Moore (love box score analysis)

Then Ben Johnson was like "Yeah nah, I'm gonna be a Bear" and well...
January 21, 2025 at 3:39 AM
But, as you mention, QB is prob the most important factor

Not to mention that this is widely considered a poor QB draft class, and he got to see Caleb mount that comeback first hand.

Also, DBB addressed the teams needing to learn from their mistakes thing which seems to have gotten misconstrued.

Trying to predict the NFL Playoffs and don't feel super confident because of two games

Ravens Bills and the potential Eagles Lions matchup if I am right about the first round

One of my good friends surprised me with a late Christmas gift

He’s really gotten into SLA 3D printing and making his own Figurines and such

And he surprised me with this awesome Xenomorph figure

Beyond grateful for the awesome people, like him, that I have in my life!

Want to correct myself on this one

When I said slide on this, I meant half slide

I need to do better and be more specific since just saying slide could be confused with a full slide

And that would have been bad even with the look they saw presnap

@matchquarters.bsky.social

On the design part, It’s the OG and Everett that I think both think they have help here

The dropping DT leads to Curhan blocking air and then Everett chipping and releasing leaves a free rusher to loop Caleb into the mess in front
December 27, 2024 at 3:29 PM
I actually hate this stat

After week 10 @xpensivedfstips.bsky.social and I touched on a lot of what @robertmays.bsky.social and @qbklass.bsky.social talk about in this episode on our @virginiasdms.bsky.social pod (haven’t recorded recently cause life’s been hectic)

This is playing tight not free!
December 27, 2024 at 6:50 AM
Oh agree completely

But WRs have seen significantly more injuries than usual

For instance, here’s the WR pre draft fantasy pros rankings, the red mark signifies a reach based on inseason ranking (AJB might be fine)

Some of these guys are great, but were/are unavailable a lot

I want an SNES

But this and an Everdrive is like $300+ all together

And there are more important things I could buy with that money

But… I want it 😂
December 23, 2024 at 9:29 PM
I cringed at the hype around D'Andre Swift and I hate that I feel vindicated about it

I'd rather have been wrong

Having a negative EPA/Att is fine as a RB, but this far negative, and with a -0.6 RYOE is just unacceptable

We're talking about a RB that get's .6 yds less than what is blocked for him
December 23, 2024 at 4:32 PM
What do we consider blue chip?

Are we projecting developmental curves for them?

I see a lot of fans use pro bowls to judge Poles

Here are all the Rookie and yr2 2023 pro bowlers and Rookie 2022 pro bowlers

Way easier to make it off a winning team

Way harder to win off a complete tear down (🧵)

Had to look up his espn recruiting profile and notes since 247 didn’t have much, dudes just a football player, love it

So… since Brisk and Hicks are both still out…

…And Keenan seems good to go…

…Maybe…
December 7, 2024 at 5:54 AM
This play design tho

Quads but like bunches w/ 1 more wide

Wide runs a fake bubble that puts all of the DBs feet in concrete

Seam and Drag get easy wins with switch releases from bunches

And then Kirby Joseph has to help on the quad side giving Watson an easy 1 on 1 against press man
