Protecting Caleb Williams has become the biggest concern for the Chicago Bears over the past few weeks. It was never good, but now injuries are eating away at what little stability they had. Left tackle Braxton Jones already missed last week with a concussion. He still hasn’t returned to practice. That left rookie Kiran Amegadjie to start last week against Minnesota, and it was a predictable disaster. There is no way it can worse, right? Per usual, the answer was of course it can.
The latest injury report revealed that left guard Teven Jenkins didn’t practice on Wednesday with a calf injury. Calf problems don’t usually dissipate quickly, meaning his status for the game against Detroit is now very much in doubt. If Jones also remains sidelined, the means the Bears would be without the entire left side of their offensive line. That is before you mention Ryan Bates, their primary backup guard, is also still out with a concussion.
The Chicago Bears need to seriously consider sitting Caleb.
Yes, it is acknowledged he can use all the experience possible to continue developing. However, what use is development if he’s constantly running for his life? He’s already been sacked 58 times this season, which is the most of any quarterback in franchise history. The Chicago Bears don’t gain anything by trotting him out there on Sunday. They’re eliminated from the playoffs. Everybody knows this coaching staff is getting fired. Just put in Tyson Bagent and give the kid a chance to rest and heal up. That isn’t likely to happen, which means interim coach Thomas Brown better get creative with his plans if both Jones and Jenkins are out. It could mean a run-heavy game plan with (hopefully) lots of help for Amegadjie or Larry Borom.
This is a good time to be watching college football if you can believe your team is good at drafting players! Bowl mania is fun! Gotta look for the men amongst boys players every game and remember their names. Replay your DVR anything interesting and you’ll find great blockers and backers. I’m not too worried about the Bears. I’m confident they will screw everything up, lol. And if they are just mediocre, the media will call for everyone’s head anyway lol. If Warren has any smarts, he will retain Poles until the final week ends. That way the media doesn’t… Read more »
I can think of 12, not three, players who have been absolute failures for the Bears over the last three years. His epitaph time is coming. Children of the Corn can be casketing Bearers, and the Hyenas will be laughing drooling Mourners. The Lions will not attend. They will be feasting as they should be on rare veal cutlets and racks of young lamb.
I’m not dumb, fat, poor, or ugly enough to play OG.
Bear should call Erik Lambert and see if one of his Alphas on this site (Sillie, Gena, TWTY ) are available to play guard for the Bears.
They might have to do a lot of work during the week. And come Sunday
It would be a tough workday for them. But the pay would be good.
One thing in their favor. They could run their mouth to infinity, and it wouldn’t matter. Not sure how the Bears players would accept that though.
I don’t know what dark hole you guys are pulling this “Caleb was ruined because this staff told him not to throw picks” nonsense out of. He never threw a lot of ints, his problems have always been what they are right now. Holding the ball, general inaccuracy, passing on open receivers trying to make a big play and getting strip sacked as a result. If you guys even watched the games you’d notice he should have just as many ints as TDs this year if it weren’t for opposing db’s inability to catch balls that hit them in the… Read more »
