He's not playing outside so he's taking Shakir's spot in the slot?

I might be wrong but I think Elam for the most part could go out and play for us based on his coverage skills. Aside from having two great starters I think the reason Elam doesn't see more time is because he gets run over all the time. I don't think he's trusted to tackle guys in the open field. I wouldn't be surprised if Ingram started over him if Douglas or Benford went down not because Elam can't cover but because Ingram can bring a RB down. Bishop would appear be have been drafted to play more of Poyer or Rapp role so I'm guessing Hamlin is playing Hyde's. Although our safeties are as close to interchangeable in coverages as it gets so I'm not sure if you can read anything into that. It wouldn't surprise me if Ingram ends up in the mix somewhere. He seems to make plays every chance they give him.

Good thing they have their 30 million dollar man.

Cousins way too late with that throw. The guy was open.

I like your thinking but the Bears line looked like a hot mess. I wouldn't trust them to block anything. Not sure what the best move is but I'm guessing 4 wide and let Williams just leave the pocket if he doesn't see something after a 2 or 3 count. That said Williams just didn't seem to understand when to run and when to throw or even where to throw.

Williams doesn't see or understand numbers. When they rushed 5 instead of looking down field and then trying to escape the rush he should have instantly took off. Everyone in coverage he probably would have had 10 or 15 yards. Instead the line was already there by the time he took off.

is there a vomit imoji?

Way to late ................ he needed to realize how many guys were coming and escape the pocket and run much earlier on that.

Bears need to go 4 wide and let Williams run.

I'm going to sound nuts here but the Texans are going to miss Singletary.

Easy for me to say because we have had a running game but honestly I feel like when your offense is 70 percent passing plays you fall into these games where you can't pass protect and you have no running game to settle things down.

The whole second half they are getting run over, most of the first half they were false starting before they had a chance to get run over.

Bears have 0 plays that get a guy open. 2 seconds or 10 seconds it doesn't matter none of the Bears are running open.

If nothing else but to slow down the rush.

They should have done this a LONG time ago. Spread them out count to three and if you haven't thrown the ball run for a few and get down.

So he does have time to throw 30 yard go routes?

Do the Bears only run go routes on the outside? For the love of god where are the crossers or a TE down the seam?

Williams is a dancer and that isn't going to bode well for him. Run or throw the ball.

Your not wrong the protection is awful I just wish Williams would miss about 5 yards deeper.

I'd go 2018 just because we got Beasley in 19 and Allen made some big strides. I know the Bears have good WR's but Williams and/or the OC have no idea how to get the ball to them and there is no Beasley catching passes out of the slot.

The safety was beat, the WR was already inside and then over the top of him. The one place you can't throw that is short.

Bears have run for 200 yards east and west .............. now if they could just figure out how to run up the field.

Minus Williams who is a rookie if they could just call and run some plays that look executed well enough to move the ball it would be amazing. The Chicago Oline looks like garbage.

They had a delay of game opening the last drive .............. how the hell do you even do that?

If Williams has any legs at all I don't know why the Bears aren't spreading that defense out. Odunze and Moore outside and Swift at RB I don't see why the hell they don't have them spread out and let Williams run if nothing is open. They need to get some guys going north and south.
