Tyrique Stevenson Reportedly Has A Punishment Coming From Bears

-

If there was a face that could be put onto the Chicago Bears’ heartbreaking loss last week in Washington, it would be Tyrique Stevenson. The cornerback not only gave up 142 yards to Commanders receivers, but he also made things worse with his antics. He was constantly jawing with receiver Terry McLaurin. Then, on the game’s most important play, with the Bears leading 15-12, he was so busy getting into it with fans that he had his back to the action for a full five seconds. When he finally realized his mistake, he was out of position and ended up deflecting the pass right to the guy he was supposed to be covering.

It was a brutal way to lose, especially knowing the touchdown never would’ve happened if Stevenson had done his job. Teammates did their best to insist they didn’t hold it against him, but they also made it crystal clear that his antics were a key reason for the loss. While head coach Matt Eberflus didn’t offer any details about a possible punishment, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune is hearing one is coming.

Tyrique Stevenson has nobody to blame but himself.

There were concerns even coming out of the draft that the young cornerback had a bad habit of losing focus at times. He’d get so caught up in certain matchups that he’d shirk his other responsibilities. He may have gotten away with it in college, but there was no way something like that would slide in this locker room. Benching him for the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals makes too much sense. They have Terrell Smith back from injury. He has played well whenever given the opportunity. Letting him start opposite Jaylon Johnson might send Tyrique Stevenson a clear message that these jobs are earned, not given. If you’re going to actively hurt the team with dumb mistakes, don’t expect to get snaps much longer.

Bear fans are a sick bunch. They just needed to hear out loud that there was a scapegoat. Never mind that teams and the NFL punishes players regularly without any news involved. And no I am not saying Stevenson was ok. We all know he’s an a-hole. We didn’t learn anything new last week. Stevenson is kinda good bc of who he is. Sorry maybe. We didn’t learn anything new about our O-Line- they stink. We didn’t learn anything new about Caleb- he can’t yet threaten NFL Defenses with his deep ball. But boy that Chicago media was cocked and… Read more »

I’ve made $84,000 so far this month working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’ve made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless.

Note: I did not advocate the total elimination of the would-be product since that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Just say no to fascism!

The key word is “punishment.” And it’s Halloween even in the UK, sort of. Furthermore, it is the 50th anniversary of the UK’s Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells that was used in The Exorcist. Hence, I desire the maximum punishment that might turn him around to become a top professional who has a sense of responsibility to his teammates. Even if that means the reduction of any would-be cannabis consumption.
