Braunecker on the roster for Sunday

I must admin, I was really hoping to see this guy play, hopefully he will in the next few weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed that he turns put a solid TE for us

It's not Pace I have a problem with it's Fox but then just getting younger unless that also makes you better isn't a worthwhile goal IMHO either.  Do you remember George Allen and his "Over The Hill Gang" when he coached Washington.  He traded away his picks for Pro Bowl vets.  I think there has to be a balance and with the Bears there is.

Maybe the real annoyance comes from seeing back to back 1st round picks who appear to be major projects.  If either had shown any indication of being even average I think many would be less critical but the lag in KW's development hurts the offense and Floyd is add nothing to the pass rush at all so far and he's also not a great run stopper.  How that jives with trading up to take the kid number one is beyond me.  I never liked the pick at all.

Truth. I don't give a shit about the avg. age of our players. I do care about the record our team puts together any given year.

I imagine successful teams have a strong balance of exp. talented veteran leaders and young talented players who clearly fit the scheme and understand and can execute the desires of their competent coaches.

I saw the back of Braunecker's jersey on the opening kickoff so I imagine he's getting reps on STeams and nowhere else.
