This is going to be another battle between easily stoppable force against easily movable object with the Cards' D-line against the Bears O-line. If the possible line of Borom-Pryor-Shelton-Davis-Wright can keep pressure off Williams, he'll probably look like he did against the Panthers and Jaguars.

If you want an example of perception of QBs behind a good O-line compared to a bad one, you only have to look as far as Stroud last year compared to this.

On the lunacy of having your backup Center full back carry the ball last game, maybe the explanation that they can do different trick things out of that position would have worked, had it not been for the fact that having Johnson carry the ball behind Kramer has been goddamned automatic.

Exactly. I probably could do cartwheels down the hallway on my way to the bathroom, but if I fall down and shit myself I don't suppose anyone is going to want to hear about all the ways it should have worked out for me.

Well, my only question would be if you are at 100% otherwise for walking down the hallway to the bathroom?

On the O-line note, in the case the Bears go after Ben Johnson in the offseason, how worried would you be about Ben Johnson looking better than he is because he's operating with the best O-line in the game?

Don't get me wrong, I'd 100% support getting him and then following the Panthers lead (probably the only time anyone will say this this year) and buying the two biggest meanest guards in free agency. Then spend two of the first three draft picks on O-line as well.

But look at how Slowik (and Stroud, for that matter) looks this season with a worse O-line.

Been years since the last mishap.

Good callout and it’s definitely a concern, but it’s easy to fix too. Plenty of money, a first round pick, and two second round picks.

Hopefully he would be smart enough to realize it needs to be addressed, and if not, we probably have more coaching problems already lol.
