PFF has ranked all 32 teams focusing on specific players and roles. Taking into account the necessary moves made and attention paid to the Oline and receiver core leaving the bears with certain options to use to fill gaps in the defensive line how do you guys think the bears will fair in this area this season? How will this affect the bears in the NFC?

This is the acknowledged key weakness on D, so PFF's 30th rank can't be much of a surprise. Floyd's health and development are obviously extremely important...he needs to be a beast. Someone needs to surprise on the other edge. I like Acho, but expecting him to be a consistent threat requires more optimism than I have. Fangio may be the wild card. He needs to be a genius.

Agree 100%

I've been reading really good things about Fitts.

Fingers crossed Fangio can develop Floyd and Fitts and anybody else that comes through Halas Hall. If they can, this thing is going to be fun.

This is encouraging news!
