Now this kind of offense is tricky for the defense to follow but not crazy hard for the offense to do- it just requires good timing and route running. Now that Fields is gone I could easily see CW running Waldron’s scheme well. I get a good feeling about the match.

[@Mike9201984]

So many negative comments yet look at what Waldron has done with Geno Smith and a banged up OL. The examples in the video clearly show WRs getting schemed open and unique play design/formation. Let’s keep an open mind and trust Poles along with the rest of the professionals to do their job and continue building toward success.

That first play with the double fake screen was used by the Niners in last year's week 15 game against the Seahawks, ending in a Kittle touchdown. It was so satisfying to see Waldron make them taste their own medicine! But no, it was not that creative on Waldron's part. Gotta give them credit for executing the play with Parkinson instead of Kittle though!

The top 2 LTs will be gone by pick 9. Also, those 1st round picks could be bottom first rounders the way Cardinals got stuck with this year thinking the Texans would suck, and that trading their 3rd round pick in 23 would net a Top 5 pick in 24. It doent always work out. Also, what happens if Fields doesnt develop and now you have pick 8 next year?

[@notorioustbg]

Don’t be so sure. Three QBs, three wrs, and brock bowers/edges in this draft all vying for top 10. Not to mention teams needing CB and every year there is usually a reach or two. One of these two tackles will likely be there

I hope you’re ready for zero passes or routes between the numbers, 2nd long sideline fades, and 3rd and long draws and screens lol. Watched it for 3 years and wanted to tear my hair out. Also even if your O-line sucks he’ll still call 5-step drops on obvious passing downs. He’s a great person but his “scheme” is horrific or at least it was while he was here... I really do wish you guys the best of luck tho maybe it will work in Chicago

[@bryantlawson6270]

I literally watched like 15 plays in this video that had the WR catch in between the hashes

[@coopwool]

Idk man I also watched every Seahawks game and he almost never throws or schemes routes for the middle of the field. Everything is long developing routes down the sideline. I don’t know the numbers off hand but I know I saw something like 70%+ of genos completions were to the sidelines last year… The biggest issue it caused imo was horrific redzone offense numbers. When a D has the endline as an extra defender and just needs to cover the two corners of the end zone it’s SO easy to stop

[@DosedLos]

[@darbywood4996]

Better get that line fixed first , first play of this video the QB held that ball at least 5 seconds in the pocket. JF had a half a sec before he was hit or pressured.

[@michaeldunagan8268]

@7:18 "I think the Bears have a really-really-really great offensive line".... Check yourself: I love your video presentation and your breakdowns of plays-but the Bears offensive line is very very very mediocre at best: #20-#25 in the league, depending on whose rating, and whether only runs versus only passes, or overall.

[@mihnic0504]

Hold your horses. Every CW fan thinks that resetting the QB position is the cheaper option. In reality if you take the draft capital it keeps cheap talent coming through the Bears organization which creates a cycle of more draft capital as you can trade valuable players for more draft capital prior to rookie contracts expiring. There is a priceless principle at work in this situation. If you take CW about 8 rookie contracts are going to come up in about 2 to 3 years and it will be more than the Bears have space for so they will have to replace players with sub par talent and pay 2 or 3 players they choose to keep. With a salary cap and the state of rookie contracts draft capital becomes priceless. If the Bears take CW they better make a Super Bowl run in the next 3 years and year 1 will likely be a wash. If you take the draft capital you have years of good talent and multiple chances to get the right formula. For that reason it doesn’t matter if JF is better than CW.

[@SanjitT]

Although that's true, talent doesn't matter without a good QB. Fields may never develop and could be a bust. His issue is sometimes he doesn't see things in front of him and he can't play within a structure. Williams can do all of that.

[@mihnic0504]

@@SanjitT JF was the better college QB. He played better competition and played for a national championship. CW had 30 fumbles in 31 games. Also, it doesn’t even matter. If you take CW you have one chance to win it all. If you take the draft capital the Bears will start a cycle in which you keep young discounted talent coming through the organization which gives the Bears multiple chances for years to come. The CW pick is short sighted and is putting all your eggs in one basket. Besides CW has some character issues and if people truly want him to do well then he should stick with Kingsbury. However, no matter how much sense this makes the CW fans are too emotional over the situation to think clear about things.

[@knightdance8377]

[@thor7274]

Draft Caleb? You just lost me bro. Firstly, if you keep JF1 and trade #1 pick, you get 1st in ‘24, 1st in ‘25, plus probably a 2cd in ‘24 and ‘25. Draft MHJ, and the best LT with the 9th pick, then you can draft 3 other 1st and 2cd round picks this year and next year. You will then have at least 4-5 top draft picks on rookie deals for the next 4 years, and you can watch JF1, the 1 or 2 most athletically gifted QB in the NFL become an ABSOLUTE STAR and put the Bears in playoff contention starting next year. You would only have to pay JF1 for 5th year option to keep him thru 2025. If he doesn’t work out next year…you can draft a great QB in 2025 w 1st round pick from trading away #1 pick this year…probably top 5 pick and release/cut JF1. “resetting the QB contract scale” is overrated. JF1 has never had the skilled weapons or OL to show his true potential; check the OSU tape. Remember the Clemson game? JF1 threw 6 TD passes w broken ribs! Caleb could not have done that!! Btw…put Caleb on the Bears the last 3 yrs, and he is a bust. JF1 has shown his potential greatness, toughness, and leadership by never complaining!! Go back to the CLE game w Nagy when JF1 was hit or sacked 15 times…no complaints. Caleb would’ve been carted off the field. Plus…ATL game in ‘23…that 1st TD pass in the snow to DJ2 was an ABSOLUTE DIME!! Does Caleb make that throw in the snow???

Seahawks fan here. The worry with Waldron was never that he doesn't have a punch, it's that he has no counter punch. His opening scripts were very effective all year long and then after that's it's been simply anemic. He's been regularly out-coached (Rams and 9ers twice, Ravens, Steelers). Overall his work was largely fine - sometimes exciting, oftentimes frustrating to watch. One of the biggest upsides mentioned in this vid is "he can get guys open", which if you can't do that, what *are* you doing?
