White needs to show eventually what he is capable of. G4 of the preseason didn't show me anything. He was drafted to take the top off of defenses, and until he does, is going down as a bad pick. GMs can find WRs capable of running slant ins, 4 yard hooks and catch bubble screens in later rounds. But if you spend a 1st on a receiver he has to be a game changer. To me that means a threat to go deep anytime he wants and a strong target in the redzone.
Through the 4 preseason games, White showed none of this. I don't buy the "Bears are keeping what White can do secret." NE saw what he can do, those reports are filtering through the league as I type. Every team knew White coming into the draft and what he could do. It doesn't take too much to project him now after a full camp. IMO it isn't White. Its Fox/Loggains plan to play ball-control, field position, and time of possession football. We are going to see the Run-and-Shoop again.
from the Tribune 2010:
"If John Shoop hopes to get any player endorsements in his bid to become the Bears' permanent offensive coordinator, his mission is clear.
Develop a rapport with your receivers, keep your defense off the field and punish the offensive line.
"That's what we're there for," tackle James Williams said.
Specifically, that means running the ball as much as possible, perhaps at the expense of a few admittedly self-centered receivers."

I'd sent you a PM and wanted to make sure you were still above ground. LOL
