Would wager that he's not off sides and that it's just camera angles.

Tory Taylor about to text Caleb back..."I thought you said I wasn't going to be punting all that much?"

Defense has been significantly better since the Texans last scoring drive

They are not playing Williams as a running threat at all and the OL and backs are suffering….not a criticism of Williams btw

I don't know, seems like they're playing QB spy a lot against Caleb so far. Not as much as Fields I'm sure, but I think they still view him as a running threat.

I mean in designed runs

Caleb got saved there.

Wow what a missed call by the refs.

It must be some incredible mirage because a few of these plays he looks to be like a half yard offside.

Caleb’s taking too many hits

Nice block Kmet

How is no one covering Will Anderson on the blindside?

Missed the launch by the defender on Caleb. And the punch on the sideline. Rarely see such blindness

They had Cole Kmet try to block him

I guess what I mean is if the defense is concerned about the designed run, they respond typically by playing QB spy, and Williams has drawn that defense a number of times even without many designed runs.

jordanwilliams6 · Post #115 » by **jordanwilliams6** » Mon Sep 16, 2024 2:46 am

We're giving Williams absolutely no protection. He's going to end up second guessing every snap because he's not confident his teammates have the defense covered.

I mean there is a guy just staring down the line, and they call it all the time in games when people line up wrong. It's pretty inconceivable that he's actually lining up in the neutral zone or off sides every play.

Beyond the fact that it would be trivially seen, the Bears would also complain about it an insane amount if it were happening.

This is what happens when the Bears don’t get turnovers. They lose. So much for the high powered offense. The O-line needs talent

jordanwilliams6 · Post #118 » by **jordanwilliams6** » Mon Sep 16, 2024 2:49 am

Damn so close. It would've changed the whole game.

What a ridiculous challenge.

HoopsterJones · Post #120 » by **HoopsterJones** » Mon Sep 16, 2024 2:51 am

They’re not going to overturn that one.
