The evaluation of their own players by the Bears will not change much between Sunday afternoon and Saturday at 15 hours. CT delay to reduce their team to 53 players. With more than a month of practices and games to evaluate the guys on their team, Ryan Pace and the Bears' decision makers will focus their efforts from the Thursday night's preparatory final until Saturday afternoon on the frenzy. son of renunciation that accompanies 31 other teams. needing to reduce their squad from 90 to 53 players.
So, unless there's an injury or a massive good or bad performance on Thursday night at Solider Field, here's our projection of the Bears team's membership to 53 people at its unveiling next Saturday. The caveat here is that there may be override additions that will change what it looks like when the Bears start training for their first game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Some positions to watch: tight end, distant tackle, outside linebacker, cornerback and – yes – kicker.
Another thing to note here: do not overestimate the players that the Bears have cut and are afraid to do the training team or not. This kind of movement rarely happens – so that a team can claim a waiver on a reduced weekend, it must keep it on its 53-man roster. So for the lineup of Ryan Nalls or Ian Buntings or Clifton Ducks of the Bears, they have a chance to lose those players by cutting them – but there's a lot more chance they can engage them in their own team. 'training.
Whatever it is, on the list:
QUARTERBACK (2): Mitch Trubisky, Daniel Chase
Cut: Tyler Bray
Daniel did not have a good pre-season. He's not going anywhere either and will be back to the Bears quarterback in 2019.
RUNNING BACK (4): David Montgomery, Mike Davis, Tarik Cohen and Kerrith Whyte Jr.
Cut: Ryan Nall, Josh Caldwell
Nall had an impressive 69-yard run in Saturday's preparatory game against the Indianapolis Colts, but the Bears gave Whyte a glimpse of the situation early in the game. Although he does not stand out from the point of view of production (four races, eight yards, one catch, seven yards), his speed is obvious, and that alone might be enough to be part of the team. His ability to return to the start also gives an extra boost to his chances of being part of the training.
LARGE RECEIVER (6): Allen Robinson, Gabriel Taylor, Anthony Miller, Cordarrelle Patterson, Riley Ridley, Javon Wims
Cut: Marvin Hall, Thomas Ives, Tanner Gentry, Jordan Williams-Lambert, Joe Walker
This group feels decided for a little while now, as Hall fades after a good start to a training camp while Wims continues to accumulate good practice. No receiver stood out in Saturday's game.
Notably, though: do not be surprised if Wims is active in the Bears' first game against the Packers and Riley Ridley is not. Wims has averaged 10 pre-season special team strikes, while Ridley has just over five.
Tight End (4): Adam Shaheen, Trey Burton, Ben Braunecker and Bradley Sowell
Cut: Dax Raymond, Ian Bunting, Richardson Ellis, Jesper Horsted
It's a tough call here. Raymond did some good things as a pre-season blocker, although he did not produce as a smuggler. Bunting did the opposite: he had a 25-meter reception on Saturday but did not show as much difficulty as a blocker. The Bears should be able to bring Bunting and Raymond into their training team if they are not on the list.
Although Sowell did not show much as a catcher, head coach Matt Nagy patiently preached from the offensive line to the tight position, which seemed good news for his chances of winning. a place in the alignment.
Offensive Line (8): Charles Leno Jr., Cody Whitehair, James Daniels, Kyle Long, Bobby Massie, Ted Larsen, Rashaad Coward, Alex Bars
Cut: TJ Clemmings (potentially IR), Jordan McCray, Blake Blackmar, Sam Mustipher, Mark Tucker, Cornelius Lucas, Joe Lowery
Clemmings may have been on the right track before seriously injured his leg during Saturday's game. It will be interesting to see how many times the bars play – and how it plays – in the preseason finale of Thursday (if you are looking for something to watch, that's it). His ability to play both keeps and tackles the place squarely in the Bears list. Coward (assuming that he will not need to stay in the injured reserve with the elbow injury that he suffered during the pre-season 2), a rescue tackle and Larsen an inside reinforcement guy.
That leaves the Bears with 24 offensive players and 26 defensive players, but if GM Ryan Pace really wants to keep the top 53, that seems to be the way to go.
DEFENSE LINE (6): Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Bilal Nichols, Roy Robertson-Harris, Jonathan Bullard and Nick Williams
Cut: Jonathan Harris, Abdullah Anderson, Jalen Dalton, Daryle Banfield
Previously, we had Williams outside. But he had a good game Saturday against the Colts, and was part of the lineup a year ago while he played only two games. We are going to put it for the moment, but if the Bears have to clear a spot in the lineup for a person on waivers – like a tackle, a linebacker or a cornerback – he could be back on the bubble considering of the depth that awaits it.
EXTERIOR LINEBACKERS (5): Khalil Mack, Floyd Leonard, Aaron Lynch, Isaiah Irving and James Vaughters
Cut: Kylie Fitts, Chuck Harris, Matt Betts
Vaughters has had a series of passes in each of the last two games of the Bears and, with some flexibility to carry only 24 offensive players, he gets a spot here. He also actively participated in special teams during the pre-season, leading the Bears with 42 team attempts.
Irving did not do much and could be a slightly surprising cut, but we'll keep it here without a better option. Nevertheless, the Bears could look to sort out their problem behind Mack / Floyd / Lynch on the waiver lead.
INSIDE LINEBACKERS (5): Danny Trevathan, Roquan Smith, Nick Kwiatkoski, Joel Iyiegbuniwe, Kevin Pierre-Louis
Cut: Josh Woods, Jameer Thurman
Difficult call here. Kwiatkoski secured his place in the lineup by playing a remarkable game on Saturday, but behind him lies a fog. Pierre-Louis teamed up with Kwiatkoski in the first half – not Iyiegbuniwe – so we will add him to the list, given his expected contribution to the special teams (although he did not played only five special teams during the pre-season). But no Bears player has played more special team captures than Iyiegbuniwe last year, and the former fourth-round pick remains on that base. Woods played well this pre-season and would be an ideal candidate in the training team, and could be one of the most difficult cuts made by the Bears.
CORNERBACKS (5): Kyle Fuller, Prince Amukamara, Skren Buster, Kevin Toliver II, Duke Shelley
Cut: Stephen Denmark, John Franklin III, Clifton Duck, Michael Joseph
Saturday was a tough match for Franklin and Joseph, and we did not see Duck – who was productive in training and preseason games – before the second half. The waiver lead could produce a sixth half-corner for the Bears here, as after a promising start, the Bears youth group has not moved in the last two games. Denmark has not played and could be an injured candidate on the reserve, although the Bears may not have any difficulty completing their seventh-round developmental sport project in their practice team.
SECURITIES (5): Eddie Jackson, Ha Ha Clinton-Ten, Deon Bush, DeAndre Houston-Carson, Sherrick McManis
Cut: Doyin Jibowu, Jonathon Mincy
Bush had six 91-yard selections on Saturday and was one of the best Bears players in the 2019 preseason.
SPECIALISTS (3): Eddy Pineiro (PK), Pat O'Donnell (P), Patrick Scales (LS)
Cut: John Wirtel (LS)
For the first time in these lineup projections, the Bears keep a kicker on their lineup. Pineiro's goal of 58 yards was a remarkable moment in the battle, and after a discussion with Nagy to build confidence, he was remarkable. Pineiro said he felt he was part of the team and did not have to worry about who was trying to score goals on the field now that he was the only kicker in the lineup.
It would be a bit unfair to see Pineiro's goal of 58 yards. If that's what he can do when he's the only kicker in the lineup, the Bears will have no qualms about giving him a try in the regular season. He still has a game at Soldier Field to back up his record, but barring disaster on Thursday night, he will survive not only Saturday's cup but also Sunday's spree.
