OT: Bears & NFL Talk 103

[Mrfenn92]

Who are IOL options in FA? Trey Smith, Center out of Atlanta, possibly Becton (though I can see them passing on him coming off the Nate Davis situation).

Joe Brady, maybe? Don't know if he'd want the position.

Oh, I didn't realize until just now that I'm older than Johnson.

Big fan of Johnson's comment that QB play is a stronger indicator of winning in the NFL in 2025 than turnover ratio.

Hopefully that means that the message for the young QB will be to challenge tight windows more this season. And to under throw, rather than overthrow, deep balls. That felt like a big one in the deep game, where he was desperately trying to not get picked off deep down the field.

I'd also be remiss not to express my disdain for Mike Florio, who the days before the hire did a media tour saying how Ben Johnson was going to the Raiders or staying with Detroit, and the Bears wouldn't get him unless they fired Poles.

As usual with sports media, moved past it with nary a mention of how he was just bullshitting his way around the sports media landscape.

Sports media sucks, and Mike Florio sucks more than most.
