Saw where Goodell is saying the nfl will support protesting players. Good for them, and I wish them nothing but the best, but I ain't watching any of it.

Difference between you and I. I wish them anything but the best.. They can all go to he11! Goodell is the worst thing to happen to the NFL. And the protesting players can all go fukk themselves!

Sad thing is, I bet you can count on one hand the players who actually "know" the organization's they are supporting (BLM) and the ones they are not (police)... talk about the blind leading the clueless......

My annual attempt at a 53 man roster - haven't got one right yet:

Quarterbacks (2): Mitch Trubisky, Nick Foles
Running backs (5) David Montgomery, Tarik Cohen, Cordarrelle Patterson, Ryan Nall, Artavis Pierce
Wideouts (6): Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, Ted Ginn Jr., Riley Ridley, Darnell Mooney, Javon Wims
O-line (8):   Charles Leno, James Daniels, Cody Whitehair, Germain Ifedi, Bobby Massie, Jason Spriggs, Rashaad Coward, Alex Bars
TE (4):  Jimmy Graham, Cole Kmet, Demetrius Harris, J.P. Holtz

Don't need Saubert as 5th = let's see what Pierce and Nall can do filling in for Montgomery - loser goes to PS when Montgomery returns and Saubert returns I guess (I like Horsted better)

D-line (6):  Defensive line (5): Akiem Hicks, Bilal Nichols, Roy Robertson-Harris, John Jenkins, Brent Urban
OLB(5) : Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn, Barkevious Mingo, Isaiah Irving;, Trevis Gipson
ILB(4): Danny Trevathan, Roquan Smith, Joel Iyiegbuniwe, Josh Woods
CB (6):  Kyle Fuller, Buster Skrine, Jaylon Johnson, Kevin Toliver, Kindle Vildor, Stephen Denmark
S(5):  Eddie Jackson, Deon Bush, Tashaun Gipson, Sherrick McManis, DeAndre Houston-Carson

Bears will need to add  Abdullah Anderson at least until Hicks is full go - but then who sits for a week or so?  Maybe 6th corner?

I think there's no debate at those 3 spots.

Right now I think they’re going to keep both santis and Pinero until Pinero recovers

My bad!  I get fined by the commissioner.

Maybe we let Nall and Pierce flip a coin or put Josh Woods on the PS for a week or 2 and bring him back after Montgomery returns.  Then Nall and Pierce flip the coin.

I think it will be Nall.  3 years with the team, should know the blocking assignments, etc.  Montgomery, I doubt will be 100% for Detroit.

And you should be. haha. Just for my 2 cents worth......I dont want to see Pierce exposed to waivers. I think he is a diamond keeper to develop.

I dont play the guessing game. The real 53 comes tomorrow.

I've seen a couple mock rosters and they don't vary that much.  I think 5 corners is kind of light unless Bears think Skrine and Vildoor project to CB instead of being pure nickel backs.  I added Denmark but that's probably not going to happen as they'll again stash him on the PS with no game film available to the rest of the league. 

Most mocks have 5 TEs making the roster - this is the first with Horsted - most have Saubert.  I don't know why the Bears need 5, but I prefer Horsted.   3 of the other  4 should be able to block.

As for Pierce, he was passed up by all 32 teams on draft day.  He chose the Bears for obvious reasons.  I just don't know if any NFL team would sign him off the PS to their active roster.  There is no preseason game film this year.  So not likely.  If a team does, the Bears can move him up and drop someone else down.

I'd like to see both Nall and Pierce get carries against Detroit.  Pierce has more straight ahead speed, but Nall has more size, and as Griz pointed out more experience in the Bears system.  Surprisingly, Nall is actually quicker and has virtually the same speed over the first 10 and first 20 yards.   But all that is meaningless - got to see them between the white lines in a real game.

Maybe next week?
