The 2024-25 season kicks off with the Hall Of Fame game tonight at 8 PM Eastern. On ESPN for those looking for the game.
From a Bears fan friend of mine, the Bears are not planning to start / play Caleb Williams.
I think my main watching interest will be:
1) The kickoffs with the significant rule / formation changes
2) Watching Odunze
& I hope he isn't. Brother in law is a big Bears fan. & I have nothing against the Bears.
My old man is convinced Banks isn't in the HOF because voters don't wanna put a 3rd '80s Giants LB in after LT & Carson. I rewatched XXI during COVID...Banks was all over the field. He was easily the Giants best defensive player that day.
My Bears fan friends says no.
I think I take Stroud.

I take Stroud 100%.
Another Gettleman special - drafting Gary Brightwell over Khalil Herbert! Can't make it up.

He’s way too good to be playing in the HOF game, which is notable. Expiring contract too. Definitely a name to keep an eye on around cut down day. Don’t think they’ll cut him outright, but could be had for a late rounder possibly …

Brightwell felt like a Judge move.

Technically, everyone missed on Herbert.
Would love another Hokie in Big Blue.

Why can't you make it up??? You're talking about a 6th round pick for crying out loud. That happens all the time! For every team! This isn't Ron Dayne over Shaun Alexander we're talking about.
Herbert had a fourth round grade. Brightwell had a UDFA grade. As per the link, Sy and others correctly called Herbert as the sensible pick there. Gettleman, who relentlessly preached that you can never reach, did so with virtually every pick he ever had! Another full bloom love special.

In the HOF and Carl Banks not is a joke.

Banks was an absolute beast in that '86 playoff run.

20/20 hindsight TODAY, do you take Stroud instead of having Williams and Odunze?
My Bears fan friends says no.
I think I take Stroud.
I take Stroud 100%.
You take the sure thing every time
