    The Bears are not playing their 1's this week.

    Strange?  Most teams use the third pre-season game as a warmup for their starters.  They usually play most of the 1st half, sometimes in to the 2nd half?  Maybe teams are getting wise to the injury risks in these meaningless games.  Thanks for the info!

    I didn’t watch again, but I think Tell was in before Quincy.  They were definitely picking on Tell when he didn’t have safety help.  He really didn’t look that bad for a guy learning the position.

     

    It’s not like they needed to keep Quincy in that long, there are plenty of CBs behind him on the roster.  BTW, Collins isn’t exactly overwhelming anyone either.  I don’t think Quincy will be cut but I do think we may trade one CB before the season starts.  

    Agreed!

    It’s pre-season there are always a lot of flags because you have guys who don’t normally play and in some cases just aren’t good so they are more likely to get flagged to start with.  

     

    Then the refs always over officiate the pre-season to get players used to new rules and points of emphasis and then the refs slowly back off once the real games start.

     

    So I wouldn’t freak out too much about the number of flags right now.  If it happens vs the Chargers then be concerned.

    I also think that the refs threw some questionable flags.  But you are correct, worry if it happens in the regular season.

    The only way I give them a pass is if this was just found out.   If they would of just been straight forward there would be no freaking out. IF that ankle bone in the back broke off I wonder if that happened when he tried to practice at camp.

     

    In this video the one guy says it’s actually very good that it is a bone and not a muscle.

     

     

     

    Hence my statement about coming clean about the issue.  Address it and move forward.

    Collins appears to be getting burnt and picked on more than other 

    cornerbacks.

    I was thinking something similar when I read that Tweet.  Btw, I will always remember Parcells calling Elvis Patterson "Toast".   When a reporter asked Bill why he called him that, he replied, "Because he gets burnt so much".  :lol:

  6. The only game in the preseason I care about is the third.  The penciled in starters play most of the first half, sometimes into the second, and by then it should all be a clear vision.  I am still watching the first preseason game, my focus is on individuals.
