Brad Biggs’ weekly Bears mailbag begins with a pair of questions about the team’s priorities in the draft and free agency.
It’s Green Bay Packers week, but with five games remaining and the Chicago Bears sitting at an NFC-worst 3-9, many fans’ attention has turned to the offseason.
Poles has used this year to get the salary cap where he wants it, which led to some tough decisions. The Bears are carrying more than $85 million in dead cap space this season as a result. Poles is taking a long view in attempting to build the Bears into a consistent contender, and that will require time — more than one season, almost surely more than two seasons.
This is one of those questions where I don’t believe there’s a right or wrong answer. To build the kind of defense Matt Eberflus needs, the Bears need a dominant interior lineman and at least one stud edge rusher. When Lovie Smith was the coach and the Bears were playing high-level defense using a similar scheme, he told the personnel department they needed a three-technique tackle, a superior edge player , two dominant linebackers, a safety and cornerbacks.
What’s the latest on Alex Leatherwood? Saw Matt Eberflus saying that he’s been practicing at both guard and tackle. Any chance he works his way into playing time with Larry Borom and Riley Reiff questionable for Green Bay?From my vantage point, what the Bears have said about Leatherwood hasn’t matched their actions. They’ve said nothing but good things about him and then haven’t given him a uniform on game days lately.
