Apparently ESPN wrote the headline before the game ended:

|
They probably had multiple versions of that before the game, depending on his # of TDs.*

2 great ones by that guy.*

Great drive by the backups*

God that is such a lame ass penalty*

Rome needs to catch that*

There you go Rome*

We have no pass rush and no takeaways. No defense is gonna look good with that*
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
Need Booker to have his pre-season success carry over*
Posted by bjl63

I think I’m going to hate this defense*

Let us know what JT O’Sullivan thinks*

|
It’s QB school not defense school*

Allen is a good DC. He will have to get creative on the pass rush though*
Posted by bjl63

meh. i think the blitz packages will be a nice improvement.*

Jim Miller is a tough listen*

|
The female announcer is a tougher listen.*
Posted by gullit
|
Stacey Dales. I agree. Both are pretty bad*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Wait until bagent comes in*
Posted by illini21
|
Defense looks like butt*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Thankfully they’re missing 2 of their top 3 corners, so should look better week 1*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Yeah, that’s my big takeaway
Posted by AintHatin
|
Lack of a good running back on this team is going to suck*
Posted by illini21
|
They wanted Jeanty and then TreVeyon Henderson as a 2nd choice.
Posted by VIV
|
While true, there were plenty of good options available before the settled on Monangai*
Posted by bjl63
|
That’s what I was screaming. *

Playing on the road against a 1st string defense = not as easy*

I’m questioning if the problem with them is me watching the games

The legend of Tyson Bagent is something

P.T. Willis was my guy*

He ain't a patch to Kyle "Neckbeard" Orton.
Posted by osklister
|
Whatcha mean?
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Absolutely not. Getting a backup for 5 mil is excellent.
Posted by Mrap24
|
Good insurance or trade chip.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
correct.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Yeah in short, he was going to be an RFA in 2026. Bears would have had to tender $5MM+

Continue to think Bagent is a top 5 backup in the NFL.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I feel like he can't make throws while scrambling. Am I wrong?*
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
he made some last night.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
I haven’t noticed this, that’s a fairly specific critique*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I think he has a good arm, but his throws often end up short while scrambling
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
Nit, If the throw is off, I'd rather the throw be short*
Posted by ibdoc
|
It wasn't a scramble per se, but his TD throw on the move to Scott looked pretty darn good*

is this fox’s new score bug?*

Commanders shopping Brian Robinson Jr. Bears should definitely be interested.
Posted by OB25
|
Big ol meh. Why are they shopping him?
Posted by bjl63
|
All that would be factored into the price it would take to get him.
Posted by OB25
|
Or they could just pick up Zack Moss who was released*
Posted by bjl63
|
Nice article on Palcho in Denver Post
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Gonna be an interesting cut day for former Bears draft picks.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
What’s the story with Zah Frazier? He was an intriguing prospect*
Posted by illini21
|
Personal reasons. So hopefully he and/or his family is ok*
Posted by bjl63

Yeah first and foremost hope he and his are OK.

Trapilo at RT the last few days, may be shaping up as a Jones/Benedet race for LT.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
so another relatively high pick who can’t play lt? and is ka still alive?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
If they don’t move him to G, have to wonder if he’s a cut candidate.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Where’s Darnell wright?*

RT. Trapilo getting reps at RT2*
Posted by Carl Spackler

Not great to use a 2nd round pick on a backup*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty

Not that uncommon for OL, don’t remember anyone expecting him to start when they drafted him.

Nope. Wish we had a good gm. Should have fired him too.*

LT seems like it's going to be a problem again this year. Good thing that isn't an important
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
It's the weakest spot on the line. That said
Posted by AintHatin
|
He wouldn’t have played LT, but I’m surprised they didn’t keep Pryor, given his salary.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
it's only camp so wtf knows but Ersery and Josh Simmons both getting great
Posted by baconface
|
I remain sad we missed out on Trayveon Henderson.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

Yeah. I feel like we probably would have picked if the Pats passed*
Posted by gvibes
|
i was yelling at the tv for the bears to trade back into the end of the 1st for simmons. *
Posted by VIV
|
Pryor wouldn't help with LT*
Posted by VIV
|
Yes he would. It'd be the functional equivalent of making a great big fat man goalie in hockey.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
he absolutely does not move well enough to play LT*

Leave it to Ryan Poles to get rid of the one decent OL outside of Wright.

Are you calling Mooney a decent OL?*

No, Pryor. Physically the polar opposite of Darnell Mooney.*

I don't remember any specifics but he sounded a lot more engaged and interested than Flus

Flus was a dunce of the highest order and always seemed in over his head.

With Jahns now over there, it's really a shame that CHGO keeps Carman onboard.
