A summary of the game

And CWill was getting the ball out on average in 2.59 seconds. The OL basically were giving up ground as soon as the ball was snapped; ALL OF THEM. The OT's not being AS BAD as the IOL isn't a flex for them.

I know folks here have said you can't ruin a rookie QB1.  But in that CBGO video with ex-Bear DE Corey Wootton, he said that if you allow a rookie QB's confidence to be broken, you have broken your QB1 from that point on.  I figure you break your new toy that way and yes, you can ruin him.  He said he wasn't predicting that happening to Caleb Williams, but that is the (very real) risk you run with this OL.  He just blasted this OL and the coaching.  He also said that the OL is so bad that the Bears (in order to not ruin Caleb) need to lock down and go into max-protect this season... and that will suck for the offense production, but it will save Caleb Williams.  Just hunker down with TE's and extra blocking to make up for not having an OL this year.

This is the same OL as last yr (4 of 5 starters returning) and its not like the one other position (C) was manned by some stud last season.  There's no reason personnel-wise for the results to be so bad thus far.

That puts the bullseye squarely on Morgan the OL coach and Waldron the OC.  

FWIW, Corey Wootten said Nate Davis (for some unknown reason) has clearly quit.  He said he is loafing and doesn't seem to care about football.  Thayer was criticizing Braxton Jones for not putting the work in the off season to get stronger - and questioned his effort as a direct result.  The C position has a new guy who (at best) should be a backup.  Jenkins is getting blown up - badly - like we have never seen before.  I wonder if he is healthy or not.  Something is going on there for sure.

This is our 2024 offensive line.  That is on Ryan Poles.  It looks like the coaches were given chicken crap and asked to make chicken salad.  That's not going to happen.  Crap is crap.
