Bears Lead Up

I think the defense as a whole has looked different since the players went to Pettine and said stop making us play with one hand behind our backs.

But most noticeably, Gary and Savage really look like difference makers. I think Gary is like a year away from being a league wide known playmaker. He is getting there, would be great if Savage does as well.

Clark (25)/Gary (23)/Alexander (23)/Savage (23) is a really nice core to build around on D. I have a lot of optimism on Kamal Martin as well.

And while I still am not a big fan of Pettine, I give him credit for listening and doing it

I haven't been following that closely, when did this happen?

I know I should stay away and just tune it out but God damnn do i love how even though the talking heads are gushing over GB right now they still can't help themselves from commenting on how they're so surprised by this because "well after they butchered the draft".

They're really trying hard not to swallow those sour grapes

I think they switched to more man stuff, so Savage isn't in zone nearly as much, which seems to really benefit him b/c he tended to get lost in his zone.

Gute probably sitting in his office reading all the "Our last two draft classes haven't done jack" takes from early in the season and laughing maniacally.

Speaking of that it might be a zone type of game with Trubisky being able to scramble a bit.

I think Zadarius was an interview and mentioned it, maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago. Which would probably have been right after the Colts loss.

Isn't the Bears offense Titans lite?

The Packers are looking at the Bears playoff hopes like Hela from Thor Ragnarok looked at the last Asgardian soldier she fought..."Ahh, this one's still alive". You all know what happened next.

Read on Twitter

In that same meeting, Z supposedly asked to "simplify" things which everyone assumes meant more man coverage.
