Some amount of time later, as evidenced by a wardrobe change, the itch came back and @amichael03.bsky.social and @xpensivedfstips.bsky.social talked a little draft.

This is just the necessary appetizer before the marathon known as DUAL MOCK III drops next week.

@amichael03.bsky.social Add your shit if you want! Gotta at least get those predictions in like Kev
i won’t have time to do this for my lil pod so i’ll give a few thoughts:

tbh, adam and i kinda nailed the offensive side of things. that’s how to beat flores. a couple things brown did made it even better; multiple hots, creative screens (glad our OC is smarter than us)

NEW EP: Week 11/12 Review-Preview

Tough one last week. We talk about the positives we can take away, and then dive into what we’re gonna do about Brian Flores and crew.

Adam really, really likes talking about Brian Flores.

May have taken us about 20 minutes to dance to the point, but this was like an hour after the game - we got there!

Unfortunately, the coach preaching no risk/no reward is still here. Let’s hope Thomas Brown can put a muzzle on him.

in case anyone was wondering whether this MF listens when i talk, he sends “Ricky Stromberg?”

buddy, let me tell you about Ricky Stromberg.
Asked @xpensivedfstips.bsky.social about this move

Tells me to search the name in our chat

I mean PS move so… but hey, Kev, they finally went out and got your boy 😂

thank god mina is here because WE’VE BEEN SAYING.

give dj some of those routes. he can take them. the vast , vast majority should be odunze.
One of the (many) problems with the Bears offense: the usage of the wide receivers….

On the pod we talked about the firing of Shane Waldron and where things have gone wrong.

Some Patriots players straight up admitted that they knew what the Bears were doing on third and short, so @amichael03.bsky.social went ahead and charted every third and short this season.

His findings may shock you!

(Or not, but it’s still pretty interesting)
First off, ignore the redzone ones, we only had 3 and they all were low red goal line opportunists

Note that 1st formation might motion into another

Also, when I say PA or RPO, I mean it

I know how to read my keys, we’re pass setting on these

The run isn’t an option if it’s PA

Notice anything?

Decided to split the Review/Preview into two because there is too much to talk about and frankly just wanted to rip the band-aid off right away.

So here’s the Week 10 review.

Trigger Warning: I say nice things about Mike Martz.

I also don’t know how any competent organization can look at this game, and look at your future of the franchise rookie QB, who is in a critical phase of his development right now, and not try and find any resource you can to fix this

Or highly consider addition by subtraction

Look, if you’re not going to fire anyone, please, for the love of god, pull another Phil Snow

Find an offensive mind you can bring in as a senior analyst to either take over for Waldron while saving face

or at least give him another voice in the room to guide him since they others have failed to

Bob McGinn recently had a post on the Go Long Substack where he ranked each teams starters

He based these on feedback he received on NFL scouts

Below is the feedback he received on Caleb Williams #Bears

@xpensivedfstips.bsky.social reached out and got clarity on what the data charted in this table represents

Really interesting insight on the different looks defenses will give with Cover 0 behind it

Only advertising our little podcast on Bluesky from here on out. Chicago Bears Bluesky isn’t really a thing but hey let’s try to make it a thing; what choice do we have? Threads?!? Hell no!

Here’s our Week 9/10 Review-Preview ep, also available on all the podcast apps.
