Im tired of people crapping on Shelton when he is a min wage Center playing at a much higher price tag. Yes we need a better replacement but there wasnt a better option this year.
C Shelton's backup was supposed to be C / G Bates who is always injured. C Kramer has looked incapable of playing consistently in a backup role. Shelton better not get hurt !
I think a big problem with shelton was at the beginning of the year the dude would be put on his ass almost every snap. Hes def gotten better and more consistent, but he started off pretty bad.
Poles never traded for Bates to start at center. Look back at my channel and I informed properly on the entire situation. Shelton was always meant to be the starting Center. Chat Sports doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, but too many people listen to him. Bates was traded for to be a backup to handle multi-role responsibilities but was never proven. You don't trade for an unproven guy to be your starter. Shelton was ALWAYS signed to start for this team and it was misinformed and click bait channels that made people dislike him.
sorry, i disagree with many of you ....jenkins is always hurt....i could care less aboiut keeping him unless we can get a good deal....prefer to get someone else that we can count on week after week. when healthy he is solid but to me he isnt healthy enough
Another great informative clip. It all starts with free agency. Id be interested in your thoughts there, compare the other team needs who we will have to compete with foa the FAs. Keep up the great work!
Agree the Bears not reloading the INJURED O Lineman is crazy. HC Lovie Smith did the same thing when Angelo was GM ! They got QB Cutler but no O Lineman except 1 or 2. Cutler took a beating & Lovie didn't care. Repeating the mistakes of the past - that is the Chicago Bears !
Personally, I'd use a tag on Jenkins as I doubt he'd sign a team friendly deal. I think even a transition tag would be better than just letting him walk. While he hasn't played a full season, he's been more available and is good when in there. Just one less hole to plug potentially and there is no issue with cap space to make it happen....might be a good short video to review the tag options. The Bears don't have another player in a contract year that would demand tag consideration.
You don't think we could sign him to a deal worth less than a Top 10 Guard in the league? That's a steep price to pay, even for a really good guard, when he's constantly injured
@@Beardownsports No, I doubt it...the money guards are getting and the level of play he has shown when healthy I'd bet there's a couple of teams that would pay pretty big bucks for Tevin. I think if you look league wide, very few OL play a full season anyways...be an interesting analytical breakdown of game availability for OL across the league. Other factors that play into my comment; we have the cap space and we buy another year of Jenkins for transition/another opportunity to stay healthy, or not.
@@Beardownsports Look at the Bears O Line depth chart. 2 players are listed as backups. C / G Kramer & T Amegadjie. That is it ! If any of the starters on the line go down to injury - may God have mercy to CW.
@@Beardownsports They have no O Line depth ! The D Line goes 3 deep if you look at their roster & WHO is healthy. Tell me an O Lineman is not going to be a good pick when every team picking before the Bears is going for a pass rusher.
I believe that the depth at DT in 2025 is why Poles didn't do more to fix the O-line this year (I believe without injury it would have been slightly better.)
@@BeardownsportsNot getting 3rd down push to pickup the short 3rd downs. Defenses stack the line & its usually 4th down. The running game is nothing. Respectable is debatable but the play calling also had a hand in that under Waldron.
CW is the priority. I agree bears need to draft d-line 1st round. Both 2nd's need to go to interior o-lineman. 3rd should go to best trench player available, d- line or o-line.
I like the beefing up the dline for the draft, but if you want a winning ball control offense you'll need some road graders up front and someone better than our current running backs. Tampa Bay got Bucky Irving in the 4th round, it can be done.
If GM Poles hadn't missed on RG Nate Davis / C - G Bates maybe things would look much different. Everybody on the O Line gets hurt ! Free Agents don't seem to play with the same intensity as drafted players. There is no continuity shuffling these players in & out. No 3rd down & short movement from our line at all ! They used to have Jenkins play RG along side Wright & that used to be where the push would be. No longer !
Kalil Mullings fills that bruiser RB rile that we can draft 4th or 5th rd. I'm still a big supporter of attacking DL but I disagree with you on LG in 1st rd. I think Alabama LB Booker is worth it. Plug & play starter. Great anchor & dominate pass & run blocker. 6'4. 350. Just immovable
For the RB spot late rounder, have a look at Damien Martinez out of Miami. I noticed him when he was with Oregon State last season and that guy is Fast.
I remember last year you loved Poles. Now you’re almost out on him?? I know he hasn’t hit homers on every decision but that’s pretty fickle. Without his decisions there’s no Caleb,DJ, etc… The coach proved he couldn’t do the job but I think the GM deserves more time to build an entire roster with some misses factored in.
Things develop I said in this video he gets one more year, but he hasn't hit a home run. He lucked into that trade for having the #1 pick and then refused to pull off a blockbuster again
Im sorry, I want MULTIPLE 1st round picks on the Oline. Wright was supposed to be the start, not an exception. I dont want a FA heavy Oline, I want drafted dudes manning the trenches for CW. I want our offense to impose its will on other teams. Not the same patchwork BS offense with an top 10 defense. I want an ELITE offense and a serviceable defense that can stop the run.
Agree with you on the O Line. Look at the depth chart & you see 2 names as 2nd string ! Kramer C / G & Amegadjie RT / LT. The DL is 3 deep ! That is what GM Poles did was revamp it. DT Picket looks like another 3rd round bust as Williams can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear ! There is O Lineman wearing 1st round grades. Protect CW & give him a run game.
@@ag4allgood We literally have Sweat, Dexter as starters and Billings as a backup. That is it. That's all. Maybe Taylor or Martin could work their way up to backup duty. Maybe Booker can be a starter in two more years, but we are not capable or deep at D line. At all. This is delusional
@@Beardownsports Your not looking at the depth chart. The Bears are 3 deep at each position. Chris Williams / Byron Cowart / Zacch Pickens / besides the starters Billings & Dexter Sr for DTs. Hello ? DE is even more stacked with subs Taylor / Booker / Martin / Hardy / Robinson backing Sweat & Walker. How come you purposely don't mention the other people on the team. This is according to the Official Bears depth chart on their website.
@ag4allgood That's what teams carry on their roster. How many we have is not the point. That's what teams carry. Because you see 3 deep does not mean we have NFL caliber players. Every team is 3 deep at edge, that's how you rotate in the NFL. Understand our quality of players and not the quantity. We are absolutely one of the worst defensive line teams in the NFL. Don't "Hello?" Me without understanding the basics of how a roster is constructed. Chris Williams, Byron Cowart, Zacch Pickens have zero business being on the Bears. We will continue to be the Bad news Bears until we fix the worst glaring hole on this team
As an Iowa fan, I would prefer the Bears to trade Swift and draft Kaleb Johnson, but maybe I'm crazy 😅 I would also like to see then go after Tee Higgins, with or without Allen.
You've got an inside track to my thinking. (not in trading Swift) but in trading our first pick to get an extra pick and that's who I would take Kaleb Johnson. I think he's a good fit for Chicago with the extra draft pick. ... Don't tell anyone, they'll see in my next mock draft...
@Beardownsports I think teams are gonna look past the injuries but we shouldn't. So if it's 21, I think someone is gonna offer that just because his ceiling is so high. May pay him Tackle $$$ and move him tbh. I think he can play outside now, but then again he's still getting hurt at LG which he was moved to to stay healthy imo. That and Brisker next year make it hard. Brisker imo across from Gordon with the right DC is so dangerous tho I Pray we keep both. I wanna run the Bear 4-6 and have Gordon and Brisker play the Hero position at the same time. Really think the 4-6 is perfect for Today's Nfl.
Sign G Tevin Jenkins / LB Sanborn & Keenan Allen. Like the details you went thru with the contracts Adam ! OLB / DE Darrel Taylor sure has dropped off the table recently at a time with Montez Sweat banged up & being double teamed. 3rd rounder Pickens looks like a bust.
Love keenan but let him walk move that money on the defense/ let Jenkins walk unless he willing to go the back up roll/ sign sandborn but don’t over pay.
Take it and RUN!! I don't think we'd land Trey Smith for that price tag. I want Trey Smith, but he likely resigns with KC and then commands a record deal. Somewhere around 5 years, $115-$120MM or more
Building the ALL important Team Chemistry takes time... by adding several new players in starting roles, that delays the chemistry. Patience... Let them gel now that Eberflus is gone. Hey I get it, we want a bunch of new people with different personalities and habits to become a SB champ in year one. It doesn't work that way! Waiting sucks sometimes.... but do you want one title or many?
Adam I think you’re great at this stuff but I still can’t get over that you think jeanty is not an option for the bears if we get some good targets in fa. Jeanty is elite and having an elite rb room is important for team wins proven by detorit
Except Jeanty has not played elite competition, and when he played the only good competition this year, he was shut down to 3.9 yards per carry... In college. 3.9 yards in college is not good. He gets fed 30-40 touches a game. It's unsustainable and when he faces NFL competition he'll be Maurice Jones Drew at best. More likely he's David Montgomery. I wouldn't take a David Montgomery in the 1st or 2nd rounds.
Offensive Line!!! Offensive Line!!! Offensive Line!!! First 3 picks, Period!!! If we don't restructure that O line completely, we are going to have another very frustrating year and maybe even a disastrous one with Caleb getting seriously injured. PROTECT YOUR YOUNG PROSPECT QB and allow your new Offensive coordinator to run a functional offense!!!
Please show me who you want to take with the first round offensive line? Or do you want to overdraft by a full round to overreach and take someone you should have taken in the 2nd round to start with and pass up on a blue chip DT that we need more than an O lineman?
@@Beardownsports Yes, I do want to overmatch and do whatever it takes to build this roster properly. I believe building from the trenches is the way to go, so we should get the best offensive lineman available every time we pick. Do you want to have the same results as this season next season?
I agree with you about Keenan Allen. I would love to tal to you bro. I would love chat if your okay 👍🏻 with that please l let me know. Its about the bears off course.
Shouldn't change much this year, just like on offense, you don't change mid season. It'll be interesting to see how it's run though, and then next year who the new DC or Head Coach is.
This isn't a strong center draft Every one of them would be a dart at the dartboard, an "opportunity" Coleman Shelton is the 9th best rated Center in the league. The smart decision would be to resign Shelton and draft a center in day 3 that we can work to develop and then probably draft another center with a higher pick next year
@ it’s sad though I really like him as a player or fan which ever way you look at it, I wish him the best and hope he is with the Bears. BearDown, BearDown sports thanks for answering.
@@keithhunley1127 I wish we had a crystal ball that could tell us if he'd stay healthy. He's one of the best when at his best. A big part of me wants us to take the gamble
Shelton was one of the worst centers in 2023, both in pass protection and pressure. Plug those attributes in, knowing Caleb was going to get drafted. Coleman was was considered to be the best option? Poles is clueless. Look around, all the best teams, and moreover, best QBs have a very good center. What did the Bucs do when they signed Tom Brady? They signed the BEST center available in FA - Ryan Jensen. How'd that work out for them? If you think Shelton is good, I feel bad for you. Also, you need an LT as a main need.
Jenkins gets injured crossing the street. Always injured in camp and routinely misses 4-6 games. Fine when available but not available enough. Get rid of him.
You've gone from wanting to trade Tremaine Edmunds to now stating he's a good contract. WTF? He can't cover anyone, can't defend the run to save his life, isn't a good tackler and he doesn't blitz well. He isn't "misused", he's overrated and a waste of a lot of cap space.
It's a good contract for the position. If we can fix the rest of the problems. I don't think he should be middle linebacker, but he could cover well if placed outside. Should be stated he's still high potential but we have to fix the D line
@robhansen6370 had to go back and listen to what I said. Also realize I said a lot of contracts are good contracts in our ability to cut them with little dead cap. There's multiple contexts here.
@ they’ll drop to the 3rd and fifth round easily I’m not high on this O-line class they won’t be able to help us this year I trust Poles with late picks
I like the first two picks being D Line with how valuable they are there. With our own 2nd rounder we can get one of the best O line guys or even trade down a smidge to pick up an extra 4th rounder and still get a really good Guard
Im tired of people crapping on Shelton when he is a min wage Center playing at a much higher price tag. Yes we need a better replacement but there wasnt a better option this year.
All you were trying to suck on conner williams center and he retired. The bears would have been worse off

My brother from another football knowledge all together... No.
Just no.
No

No
Not enticing w that locker room
Marquise brown ifKennan leaves
Jenkins gets injured crossing the street. Always injured in camp and routinely misses 4-6 games. Fine when available but not available enough. Get rid of him.
If he wasn't a top 10 Guard when healthy we wouldn't have to debate this.
He's just so dang good it makes it hard.
how bout you just take Poles job?
Lol, is getting fired too fast 😬
It would be fun though
You've gone from wanting to trade Tremaine Edmunds to now stating he's a good contract. WTF? He can't cover anyone, can't defend the run to save his life, isn't a good tackler and he doesn't blitz well. He isn't "misused", he's overrated and a waste of a lot of cap space.
It's a good contract for the position. If we can fix the rest of the problems.
I don't think he should be middle linebacker, but he could cover well if placed outside.
Should be stated he's still high potential but we have to fix the D line
@@Beardownsports No, it isn't. You're paying a LOT and getting virtually no production. A textbook definition of waste.
@robhansen6370 had to go back and listen to what I said.
Also realize I said a lot of contracts are good contracts in our ability to cut them with little dead cap.
There's multiple contexts here.
We need to cut,Edmunds, extend TJ get a new free agent or draft someone. What are the terms of Edmunds contract?
Man stop it with the Poles disrespect, you tweaking, he deserves to keep his job indefinitely. You bozo!
He has the job at least another year. Let's see what he does.
The bears 🐻 should select all defensive players with the first 3 picks
Bro we need help on the o line
@ they’ll drop to the 3rd and fifth round easily I’m not high on this O-line class they won’t be able to help us this year I trust Poles with late picks
I like the first two picks being D Line with how valuable they are there. With our own 2nd rounder we can get one of the best O line guys or even trade down a smidge to pick up an extra 4th rounder and still get a really good Guard
Sure, if the Bears are able to make a move to get a Trey Smith. Otherwise, at least get 1 guy for that O line.
We should go after nick chubbs
I'm not opposed to that.
