Today was one of those beautiful, cloudless summer days that you dream of in Chicago when you’re digging out from a foot of snow during yet another dreary winter. Here’s to enjoying the rest of your Friday.
The Latest From the Line
An updated look at the offensive line…
… which is subject to change, especially if you let new Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy tell the story:
Would I rather the Bears be rolling with an offensive line that is set in stone? Absolutely! Am I bothered that it isn’t? Not really. We’ve had only a handful of practice with pads. Two projected starters (Reiff, Schofield) have been with the team for just a few weeks. We haven’t even seen a healthy Teven Jenkins practice, let alone start the process of figuring out where he can fit in this mix. So while we know better than to put too much stock into preseason play. How this offensive line performs one week from tomorrow at the preseason opener against the Chiefs *SHOULD* give us some clarity.
A Most Encouraging Justin Fields Update
Sure, we want Fields making every throw. But we shouldn’t lose sight of another important aspect of his game:
It’s not always about how you fall. But instead, what you do after getting up and dusting yourself off that says so much about a player. Considering the questions up front on the line, Fields might be picking himself up and dusting himself off a bunch this year. Then again, Fields showed a ton of resolve last year. And as we continue to learn exactly how the last regime failed him, there should be no questioning Fields’ bounce-back abilities.
