Indy probably dodged a bullet anyway with the McD hire. If they
have already hired assistants then McD is a total shitbag- you
don't screw with the coaches who actually do most of the work
for a team anyway....
Then again, reminds of the McGinnis fiasco attempted hire that
finally got Mickey McCasket shunted to the cornfield (at
last)....

Yes I equated the Colts McDaniel fiasco to the Bears McGinnis
hiring fiasco. I havent seen one of this magnitude since the
McGinnis fiasco.

If we could draft Nelson at 8, I would be thrilled to have a
mauler like that. I know the question is what to do with
Sitton, but my question is what to do with Long. He WAS an
absolute stud, but who knows if he will be even half the player
he was before all the injuries. Then again Sitton is going to
be 32, getting a little long in the tooth. I would rather get
rid of a player a year too soon than a year too late. They need
to leave Whitehair at C, and not move him back and forth. And
they should launch Grasu. Get Kush back, and if we can find an
upgrade for Massie, great. Lets see what Morgan learned for a
year on IR...

I'm just hoping the new strength and conditioning team help our
guys stay healthy. All healthy our OL is the least.of our
worries. Think how much better.our team would be if our top 5 OL
along with White and Meredith we're all on the field at the same
time for most of the season.

The OL looked ok, against one of the worst SOS's. Go up against
better teams and they are going to be beaten badly.

O-line had ups and downs. They passed blocked fairly well
throughout the season and got into trouble primarily with
Trubisky's failures to pull the trigger (or take off) when no
one was open.
Run-blocking started out well, but as the passing game
deteriorated with Trubisky and his no-name WRs, teams over
played the run. Couple that with the injuries the last 4 or 5
games and you end up with a very poor offense. And we all know
the play calling was conservative and predictable.
Can an O-line of Leon, Sitton, Whitehair, Long and Massie
produce with Trubisky with a season under his belt and some
threats at WR and some creative plays, not to mention more
creative use of Cohen?

I think you are really over-rating them.
They are not that good imo, i hope we draft OL early and often
this draft.

If that happens they will lose bigtime next year. Where are you
going to get your edge rusher you need badly and your CBs you
need. Oh thats right they will come from the great class of
UDFAs, makes sense

Let's see....we don't have a cornerback....none. NFL.COM's 4
draft writers all pick the Bears taking Denzel Ward.
Pass rushers? We got Floyd and thirty-something Willie Young
returning from injury. That's it. The rest are FAs or cap
victims.
Let's look at WRs...I'd rather not. Two starters coming off IR.
The guys that did plays are FAs. And the guy that didn't play
is signed through 2018.
So I agree we have issues at O-line, but we got big freaking
HOLES at other positions. So early and often might work but you
better get a bumper crop of FAs.

I was disappointed when the McGinnis signing fizzled because of
the Bears front office. I had the feeling that McGinnis did not
take the position out of principle, not because he was a slime
bag. I think these are two entirely different situations.
The Bears looked like fools with McGinnis. The Colts were
burned by a dirt bag move. The Colts only issue was considering
McDaniel to begin with.
