Jevon Carter may not be that much better than Caruso on offense, but he looks the part of a Point Guard looking to push the pace and be a threat on offense. That was my takeaway from watching the entire Bulls Twolves preseason game last night. Got back from the gym around 7 and didnt shower until 10pm because I didnt want to miss any of the action.
Here is what I can see being a little different from last season: When Zach was off the floor, we were throwing out a lot of lineups that really had no hope on offense aside from Demar taking a contested 2 or hoping Coby would get a good catch and shoot look late in the shot clock.
Torey Craig shot 40% from 3 last season. We know what Coby can do. Jevon Carter is a good spot up shooter. I'm still not entirely sure where Ayo fits but he has his moments.
My target PPG for Pwill is 17.
Can we get a college football breakdown next week?
If we would have closed out the Broncos and beat the Vikings (not too much of an ask), the whole season looks different. Not to mention we had an opportunity to march down the length of the field to beat the Bucs but we know how that ended. We are much more competitive than we are getting credit for. Bagent looked great on Sunday. I saw on Twitter that Field's would have taken multiple sacks in situations that Bagent checked down. Fields is 20x more talented than Bagent, but his biggest flaw is pocket presence and taking bad sacks. Hopefully that game proved to Fields that the check downs work in an offense that doesn't have the best OLine. If he learned that from yesterdays performance, watch out.
Love the painted nails. I just got sad thinking of all of the Cro magnon Men freaking out about his painted nails. I remember your painted nails very clearly.
Everyone needs to reset expectations for the Bears to.....do we see progress. I thought we ran the ball well even though we are still missing lineman and our top to running backs. I thought the defense looked MUCH better.
Watching that game an imagining that the last time Bagent was in a regular season game he was facing some D-2 Defensive coordinator and now he is facing Brian Flores attacking NFL scheme. Not going to end well.
I, too, am a glutton for punishment. I have gotten all caught up in reading how Caruso and Ayo have worked tirelessly on their three point shooting only to watch the team go 0 for 9 in the third quarter last night. And to hear one more time, "thats the skill that made Partick Williams the number 4 pick" and then watch him disappear for the rest of the game.

Loved this week's newsletter. Love Tom Skilling. Love Jevon Carter.
