Jaquan Brisker had some strong words about Justin Fields and how he is not getting the same treatment as other quarterbacks.
“If it was us, they would be throwing it. It wouldn’t even be a reaction, they would just throw it. So I just think they should treat him fair. He’s a
Seriously, what is this?
After Roschon Johnson gains eight yards on a first down run, Luke Getsy called this. Look at the personnel. Velus Jones, Collin Johnson, Trent Taylor and Robert Tonyan.
The
#Bears
were forced to punt on this drive.
This was also Nate Davis' last play
If the
#Bears
end up with Andy Dalton and Nick Foles as their quarterbacks for the 2021 NFL season, especially with all the hype around Russell Wilson, the disappointment would be at a whole new level, even for Bears fans.
Justin Fields said he was a Falcons fan growing up. He mentioned that his dad had season tickets, and when he was growing up, Julio Jones was one of his favorite players.
Pulling an all-nighter since my flight is in a few hours, but I was thinking how crazy the 1 on 1s are going to be in training camp.
DJ Moore + Keenan Allen + Rome Odunze
Vs.
Jaylon Johnson + Kyler Gordon + Tyrique Stevenson
Let's go!

offensive lineman Teven Jenkins posted this on his Instagram an hour ago.
If you haven't watched Dragon Ball Z, just know this is a good sign for Jenkins.
Teven = Goku 😎

@markgrotesports
asked Justin Fields if the refs need to be more aware of the late hits before games.
Here is Fields' response.
"I mean, I talk to them before every game, so literally talk to, you know, the ref before every game. It happened on the first play of the game and
Kyler Gordon blocked Brandon Powell out of bounds after Jaylon Johnson’s interception, and the Vikings receiver couldn't get off the block, so he brought Gordon down by his facemask and then started swinging.
How was this called a penalty on Gordon?!?!

QBs coach Kerry Joseph was asked what are some of the critical factors he looks for that predict success at the quarterback position.
Here is what he said.

safety Jaquan Brisker on why he liked this tweet:
"I just really love the noise. Love everything about it. Just favorited that tweet just so I could remember exactly what they said. Stephen A. said. They're going to swallow their words pretty soon, so that's the reason

@CourtneyRCronin
asked Justin Fields if he feels he has improved this season with his downfield vision.
Fields identified a strength of his as a player in his response.
"I mean, to be honest, I feel like deep balls just in general, I feel like is kinda what I do best to be
"I've got a cannon." -- Tyson Bagent when asked he could've got the ball to the end zone on the Hail Mary attempt before halftime that Nathan Peterman attempted
How important is it from your vantage point to keep Tyler Scott involved and to make sure you and offense still have faith in him?

with the question.
Here is Justin Fields' response.

Really rough day for Caleb Williams and the starting offense. A lot of incomplete passes and near interceptions.
In the 7-on-7 period, Williams completed just three passes. Jaylon Johnson nearly had an interception over the middle of the field.
In the team period, most of the
Best throw of the day:
Caleb Williams to Rome Odunze for a touchdown in the back left corner of the end zone. Williams put the ball in between two defenders, and Odunze made the reception in traffic.
Really good rep from the rookie duo.
I asked

safety Jaquan Brisker after the game about Justin Fields' run on third down and if he ever gets surprised when Fields makes those kind of plays.

Robert Quinn is a man of few words, but he may have just delivered the most memorable quote of this 2021 season.
"A man got two things and that's his words and his nuts and you don't want to lose either as a man. I try to be honest as I can when I talk to people."
Just look at the smiles that Ryan Poles and Ian Cunningham have on their faces when asked if they are set on making Caleb Williams the selection at No. 1 overall.
Play of the day: A Justin Fields touchdown pass to DJ Moore down the right sideline in team drills. Rookie CB Tyrique Stevenson was in coverage on the play.
As soon as Moore caught the ball, Lil Wayne's "Go DJ" was playing and Moore scored during the lyrics, "That's my DJ."
This is just a really well-executed play.
Yannick Ngakoue gets the sack and shows off his power, but also look at the pop that Montez Sweat generates against the right guard.
In the secondary, Jaylon Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson and Kyler Gordon pass off and pick up the Lions'
In 11-on-11s, Caleb Williams hit DJ Moore on a slant route for a 10-yard touchdown. Moore beat Bengals CB Dax Hill on the play.
Good amount of separation on the route from Moore.
On the previous offensive possession, Rome Odunze also beat Hill on a slant route. Williams hit

@MarkPotash
asked Justin Fields what was his favorite play from the game against the Broncos that showed growth as a quarterback.
"I think the third-and-9 to DJ. I think that was a good play. We went on two, but my boy Lucas blacked out and snapped it on the first, first set
DeMarcus Walker and Gerald Everett shoved each other after the play. Then Montez Sweat shoved Everett. Caleb Williams then got in the mix and pushed Walker.
Things are getting fired up in 11-on-11s.
Completely different results today in 7-on-7s for Caleb Williams.
Only one incomplete pass, which happened on the final rep.
Williams' best pass was a deep touchdown throw to DJ Moore in the middle of the field. His second best throw was a nice layered throw to John Jackson
This is from

's Instagram story. Justin Fields throws this pass a little high, but Miller is able to snag the ball out of the air with his right hand. Sheesh. 😬
Darnell Mooney just broke Deon Bush's ankles and was wide open for a touchdown. Throw by Andy Dalton. Mooney celebrated with a backflip afterwards. Just a nasty route by Mooney.

@markgrotesports
asked Justin Fields how much better he and the team have gotten since the Week 1 matchup with the Packers.
Here is what Fields said.
"I think we’ve improved tremendously in all phases. I think that’s players and coaches. We’ve grown a lot as a team, our
According to Taylor Gabriel's Instagram story, he is working out with Mitch Trubisky, Javon Wims and Allen Robinson in Huntington Beach, California. Trubisky is getting a head start on working with the timing and chemistry with his receivers.

Play of the day for the
#Bears
offense:
Caleb Williams threw a perfect pass to Keenan Allen on a fade route in the back left corner of the end zone in 11-on-11s for a touchdown.
Allen created separation at the line of scrimmage, and Williams delivered an accurate 8-yard pass.
You guys remember the old Christmas M&Ms commercial? "He does exist" "They do exist"
I had a similar reaction when watching this third-and-14 throw from Caleb Williams to DeAndre Carter in the middle of the field, which caused a 24-yard pass interference penalty. First of all,
This throw from Justin Fields to Darnell Mooney was really impressive to watch from the press box.
It looks equally as good on the TV copy.
Fields moving left, a defender is in his face and he delivers a strike to Mooney for a 24-yard gain.
Beautiful.
The
#Bears
have Larry Borom and Teven Jenkins pull to the right.
Darrynton Evans gets the pitch to the left.
The Vikings stop this play for -5 yards.
What is happening?
Justin Fields hit Velus Jones Jr. deep down the left sideline for a big gain. Fields ended up on the ground after the play. Bears and Colts ended up meeting in the middle of the field after Dayo Odeyingbo and Teven Jenkins started talking to each other.
Caleb Williams had some tight-window throws in the first 7-on-7 period. It started with a quick throw to Keenan Allen. T.J. Edward dove to bat down the pass, but the throw beat the coverage.
Williams also hit Velus Jones Jr. in the back left corner of the end zone for a TD.
Just landed in Chicago and saw that Chase Claypool was traded to the Dolphins for a sixth-round draft pick.
I'm honestly surprised the Bears got anything for him at this point. The whole big-bodied receiver potential doesn't look enticing when Claypool doesn't play that way.
Darnell Mooney told the media that rookie teammate Dazz Newsome has his own breakdown in the huddle when he goes out for punt returns.
This is what Newsome will say.
"To the crib on three, to the crib on me."
Chase Claypool caught a drag route. Eddie Jackson gave Claypool a big hit in bounds. Claypool didn't like that and threw the ball at Jackson. They got into it. Jackson's helmet came off and the offense and defense had to be separated.
I don't know about you guys, but it sure does look like

DL Bilal Nichols gets his right hand on the football. Fox didn't bother to show the full replay on what should've been a pick-6 for Eddie Jackson. Man, this isn't right.
