James Daniels Reportedly Gobbling Up Defenders In Bears Camp
By Erik Lambert - August 27th, 2020

One of the biggest noteworthy moments when Chicago Bears training camp started was left guard James Daniels. A picture surfaced of the 22-year old arriving at Halas Hall with a remade body. He’d clearly bulked up and shaved off a lot of fat. It felt like a sign that the former 2nd round pick was ready to start getting serious about his NFL career after an up-and-down 2019.

By the sound of things? The Bears defense is feeling his wrath quite a bit a week and a half into practices. Center Cody Whitehair praised his teammate for the work he’s done. He’s seen Daniels moving guys often and not making a lot of mistakes. According to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic, the evidence does indeed back those claims up.

That is so good to hear. I think the interior OL may be pretty darned good this season.

Bears 'have a lot of belief' in Germain Ifedi, Rashaad Coward in battle for starting RG

Chicago’s offensive line returns four starters from a season ago with Kyle Long the only player not returning. Which leaves a starting right guard spot up for grabs, which will be one of the featured competitions once the pads go on Aug. 17.

Nagy praised free-agent addition Germain Ifedi and defensive-lineman-converted-offensive-lineman Rashaad Coward, noting that the team is confident in both of those guys — especially with new offensive line coach Juan Castillo taking the reins.

“We just see that as a competition where you’ve got a guy with a lot of experience in Germain Ifedi versus a guy with not as much experience [in Rashaad Coward], but two really good guys that we have a lot of belief in with an offensive line coach in Juan Castillo that believes heavily in both of them,” Nagy said. “Competition across the board for them, just like other positions, we’ve got to be really detailed with how we give reps and with how we evaluate that position.”

+1

That is a good point. Especially for an offensive lineman. Their bodies may not be where they need to be in functional strength for a few years. At least they may not be at the level needed to excel in the NFL.
