I don't think Coward has ever played guard, but maybe with some reps he's a possibility.

AS soon as Trubisky was hurt Dr Chau a former team doctor for the chargers tweeted he was pretty sure Trubisky had a torn labrum.  he said he would probably be able to play with a sling the rest of the season and have surgery after.
Looks so far he is right.  This will probably limit Tru's running which is pretty bad since that's a big part of his game.

They're saying on the SCORE Miller doesn't know his routes which is why he isn't getting targeted more.

Who was the kid we got in the draft, a supposed route running master? Where is he? Heard that about Miller as well....

Coward played guard when Larsen went down for a play or two in the Vikings or Redskins game.  Looked pretty good...on the one play.  He'll probably get a crash course over the next 2 weeks if Long and/or Larsen aren't ready to go.

I'm no Dr. Chau but I did hear that Trubisky had a partial tear that would not require surgery...at least not during the season. 

And if Miller doesn't know the routes that's on the coaching staff.  Miller had that nice catch but also taunted which resulted in the Raiders getting excellent field position after the Robinson TD.

 Ridley is the rookie that supposedly runs great routes.

What I want to know is what's up with Akiem Hicks?

When I watched the highlights of game, on the last interception, my first thought was Miller ran the wrong route.  It is the only thing that makes sense because no WR was even near the ball.  Obviously Daniel's throw the ball to the spot for a reason.  Anyway him running wrong routes would make a lot of sense because he sure has not been targeted by our Qb's.

Still think Wims > Miller and not sure if he was in on that final play but I think if he was it least would have been a contested catch.....

Again, I don't think Nagy uses his personnel well and contributes to the vastly underachieving offense....

Miller has always been known as a great route runner...that was one of his top traits coming into the draft.

Being a great route runner and running the right routes are two different things, though.

Maybe he saw the coverage in the area and broke off his route, trying to help Daniel? The pass should have never been made, either way. Surely someone else had single coverage...

The first interception was just as bad.

Lots of ugly this game. Let's hope they figure this out, make some changes on the Oline that are needed and move forward with some wins. They lost one they should have won. Lets see them win some from the tough end of the schedule. They want to be the top dog, they gotta beat those other top dogs.....
To me, the biggest thing needing addressed is the Offensive line. Whether they should readjust positions or definitely bench Long and replace him and get Lenos head on straight, it needs to happen and quickly. We need Hicks healthy to anchor the middle of the D as well. Hope this gets them angry and hungry, otherwise....

Long, I understand, he's physically beat up.  But Leno?  He made the pro-bowl (as an alternate).  He needs to focus on his technique.   

We'll find out in a couple weeks if the Raider game was an aberration due to jet lag or not.

They really never should have been in this game based on the play of both lines, but a few uncommon plays (Derek Carr's pitch, Cohen punt return and the McManis Peanut punch) almost allowed them to pull victory from the jaws of defeat.  Almost.

Adam Hoge interviewed Leno, and he basically said he is making mental mistakes.  Dude time to put on the big boy pants and get your shiit together.  As for Long, he is toast and needs to be sat down, for the rest of the year.

Sowell re-signed - Bray released.  Which means Trubisky should be available for the next game against the Saints.

Doesn't say if Sowell is re-signed as a TE or an offensive lineman.

He's still a TE.  Frankly, he showed fairly well in limited snaps as a lead block FB last year and I think he even ran a seam route or 2 at 300 lb.

I usually don't obsess with losses and detach from the Bears news for a couple of days before looking at the analysis.

But this loss still bugs me because of the way they were physically dominated by such a below average team.

These coaches really need to have this team ready to play against the Saints.

It kind of happened last year against the Dolphins and Osweiller. 

I don't care how good your defense is - its not going to stop offenses every drive every game.  Bears D had about 3 or 4 bad quarters in the previous 16 quarters leading up to the Raiders game.  Last Sunday they had 2 maybe 3 bad quarters if you count giving up one TD in the 2nd half to the Raiders as a bad quarter.   

Obviously the front 7 line play has all concerned.   Let's see what happens against the Saints.
