Hurry up, September.
Just realized this is the same Alex Shapiro I went to HS with. Nice work Alex! You’re good at this. Brings me back to Burger Day buddy.
You guys are always entertaining. Thank you.
Staying Healthy is the best us fans can be hopeful. Good Sunday entertainment all around.

Velus Jones best chances of making this team may be at WR. As far as special teams is concerned; the recent addition of Deandre Carter may have caused his value to dip down a bit. Then consider both Khalil Herbert and Dante Pettis bring value returning punts and kick-offs. And if the kid Ian Wheeler continues to impress, his chances become slightly slimmer on special teams. With that being said, after the top 4 at WR, Velus Jones, Dante Pettis, and Deandre Carter have the best opportunity to secure the final spots. The Bears will most likely keep 7 on the roster. From a systems standpoint (West Coast Offense) if we're running multiple WR and RB sets, I can see the value Velus could bring lining up in the backfield as a RB or WR, where he could be used on screens, reverses, hand-offs, etc. Utilize his skillset to your advantage while minimizing the areas he's more prone to make mistakes.

Eddie was afraid to tackle! Got paid, didn't want to get hurt!
Josh did you get any walleyes
Getsy, Tonyan, and Patrick were plants from GB!! Anyone's an upgrade from Patrick!!
Ryan Pace at his BEST!!😂 Saved us a draft pick, Poles dodged a bullet!! 😊
I Can't Wait To See Caleb Williams In Chicago
Amazing narrative w you talking heads that the guy who led the league in Kick return avg needs help to make the team. Not 2 mention he is on a rookie deal and basically free.
Khalil is outta here. The bears want complete backs that can pass block. Khalil:s running is top tier. Pass blocking and pass catching? Not so much 😂
Ken. U gotta let Fields go man. He was the worse 4th quarter quarterback in the nfl .. he couldn’t take over shit

Shelton is one of the WORST Centers in the league. We need a real Center and legit DE!
Falcons are so dumb for essentially not taking a free pick lol congrats
Lions: 14-3 Packers: 10-7 Vikings: 7-10 Bears: 3-14 Ya know… Realistically. 🤷♀️
