Based on where he was taken (late 2nd), yeah. He was projected to be a 1st round pick but fell in the draft because of the off the field stuff.

JJ struggling all training camp and now had a very rough day in joint practice against the Patriots today.

Talk of Gabriel Murphy jumping over Dallas Turner on the depth chart

Mekhi Blackman now being viewed as just a special teams guy.

Ya let’s just throw on some Donovan Jackson struggling on top of everything else haha.

Maybe teaming up Kwesi who doesn’t know anything about football with the former GM who was so bad that Andrew Luck retired early because he was being killed. Wasn’t the smartest idea on building a foundation for your front office…

Kwesi quickly building one of the best resumes when it comes to being the worst GM at drafting ever.

Damn...Now I'm starting to feel bad for bringing it up lol.

Well, at least KOC is one of the better coaches. So, not everything is lost. :wink:

Haha if JJ busts, I’m officially hopping ship to the Bills.

4 drafts in and going into the season, only 3 starters and 5 total rotation players. Nailor is one of them and is god awful. And Turner might lose his backup spot to an undrafted 2nd year player. 2 of the starters haven’t played a regular season snap and the other is suspended and most likely won’t be on the team after his rookie deal.

Draft night has just turned into, “let’s see who we will fill out our special teams with…”.

I’m officially at the, just hand the keys to everything to KOC. But hard to do that when they just gave Kwesi a brand new extension a couple months ago…

And with all that said, I saw my boy Zabel had the 2nd highest PFF grade for rookies in week 1. So happy for you…

Yeah, I was not a big Dallas Turner fan. I thought he was a project & his film was underwhelming. I was much higher on Latu & Verse as prospects. But it's somewhat surprising to hear that about him given all the hype.

I still think Jackson will be a solid Guard for you guys down the line. I wouldn't worry too much about his first preseason performance.

I think JJ will be fine.

He lost one rep. But otherwise he looked good.

I didn't realize it was that bad. I knew both Cine & Booth we're busts. But that's rough. Hopefully, McCarthy works out for them.

I can see how Ben Johnson could end up the right coach wrong fit for Caleb. Targeting Kliff over him could've been an inspired pick.

He should've took the Washington job last year.

I believe the Bears were always a year away. Last year, bad bad staff. Staff fixed. Bad bad OLine. OLine fixed. Rookie QB heavily sacked. More experience better coached, better protected. Offensive emphasis, with a longstanding Solid defensive base. I think Bears can at least hit 9 wins

Shane Waldron was a bad hire. But those sacks we're on him. I thought he would play better than he did. But I'm lukewarm on him & the Bears this year. They'll be better. But I don't necessarily see a coaching change solving those bad habits overnight. Imo he's always going to have a high number of sacks. Regardless of how good the OL is.

Tonight's game is hard to watch so far. Falcons alone have 11 penalties in the first half. But we have showtime and the Chiefs coming up !!!!!!!!!! :beer: :beer: :party: :party:
