I have been very impressed with how Williams has improved each week. It's also impressive that he is staying in the pocket with all the chaos in his face. His footwork has improved each week and I am expecting a big game from him this week against a bad Panthers D

One thing that is concerning me is Dj Moores effort. I am pretty sure he is hurt but I watched every snap from last week and there were multiple plays where he was playing with zero effort. I hope he was called out this week because that simply is not acceptable from your leader.

Lets get to 3-2. Bear the fuck down!

That is when I started to scratch my head a little bit around Moore. He did leave for a play, went off limping. But he does that often, and is then right back in there.

I'll also add the Waldron has put him in some compromised spots over the first four weeks. He's gotten massacred on a number of plays.

Still, I'm with you. I'm not a body language cop, but he could use some adjusting -- even if it is just for the outside world. He's the highest-paid player in Bears history.

Kyle Hendricks will always be one of my all time favorite Cubs! He helped us succeed even though Joe Maddon continually tried to derail him.

2024 Goal - Williams Safety and Development! That in mind, it was a successful week. As a team, we just need to get better every week until we get to the difficult part of the schedule. My biggest takeaway was also his willingness to stay in the pocket with everything seemingly collapsing on him. Fields, though I love him, would have stopped looking down field well before that.

It looks to me as if DJ's frustration is with Waldron, not Williams. At least I hope so.

Lastly, if another person talks as if this 3rd round draft pick from Yale via Hinsdale Central is going to save our line, I will explode. Not gonna happen for obvious reasons.

Yup, incremental improvement these next two weeks until we get to the bye.

I have no doubt Moore's frustration is with someone other than Caleb. And I understand it. I'd still it rather not be a story line, but I guess that is something he probably doesn't care about.

It's a good thing that I don't see a path for Amegadjie to play this year. He's more of a project. Now, if he does play, we have bigger problems...
