[@boilerbuzz]

I don't recall any other former Bear that wore 94 and was 6'6". Robert Quinn was 6'4 and so was John Thierry. Leonard Floyd may have been 6'4" as well. Help me out here.

[@Voysh2Voysh69]

I really wanna see Ryan Poles go after Matthew Judon from New England. Even though Booker’s making some progress and Demarcus Walker is just OK as a body on the defensive line, having Judon & Sweat as the starting 2 DEs, with Booker & Walker as the backups… that’d be perfect, IMO.

I was high on the Chicago Bears selecting Booker. I feel he will be a future star. The more game film I see the more I am impressed. He does not look like an inexperienced rookie. He could become a star starting next season.

[@willie8707]

@@natedagreat6704 I just don’t personally put any stock into UDFA’s, journeymen, and low round picks. 85% of them usually don’t make it. Every time this is said, some people always brings up the obvious exception of Brady. Micheal Jordan was the 3rd pick in the NBA draft and no one could ever imagine that he’d be the best IMO to lace em up. Tom wasn’t that great when he got drafted but his will and work ethic is damn near unmatched. The Bears haven’t even been able to draft a Tom Brady in the 1st let alone in the later rounds so hopefully they corrected it with Caleb.

[@godsplan6137]

I said it. He’s the sleeper pick. If he can develop an produce him an sweat with Dexter on inside gonna be a scary sight 😊

Look at how fast he gets his head up and gets his head around and is looking for the ball. Impressive.

[@MrFoolishFiend]

he has a lot of the intrinsic qualities that make a good player. he's gonna be a project though. booker has to bulk up more while staying lean to work in this defense. a hard ask for linemen, but then if his body can handle it he will be good.

[@brandongeber7767]

Booker was a 5th round pick guys! The Bears picked well

[@TheMarijuanaTrench]

Right...likely playing against a 5th round tackle. Clearly, he's going to be a legend and DOMINATE like he did in this game. Where he registered almost 0 sacks!

[@Johnsmithswiss]

@@TheMarijuanaTrenchthe OT he was mostly up against was David Sharpe who, even though he isn’t a starter, has been in the NFL for 7 years so it is impressive for a 5th round rookie to beat a 7 year veteran tackle in his first ever NFL reps regardless of his spot on the depth chart. And to label one sack as “almost 0” is a laughable way to undermine the achievement

[@garyowens2594]

He was supposed to be a first round pick if he stayed another year

[@TheMarijuanaTrench]

@@Johnsmithswiss David Sharpe is the THIRD string LT behind Blake Fisher and Larry Tunsil. He plays no snaps. Booker was not impressive, nor was he DOMINATING.

[@Johnsmithswiss]

@@TheMarijuanaTrench again, regardless of depth chart spot it is impressive for a rookie 5th round pick to consistently beat a 7 year veteran in the NFL. And did you not watch the videos and see the amount of reps he won? Obviously he will need to develop and prove he can go up against starting o line men but his performance is still worthy of praise

[@glennmcgee1729]

Nice critique of a very promising 5th rounder.

[@the1magageneral323]

I give him Grade B for the performance. We will see how great of an elite pass rusher Booker will be. I might be wrong about him when we drafted him.

As Bears fan he currently 3rd string but I feel like he going to get more up to 2nd string and overtake Robinson spot as backup DE. Not big on Robinson hasn’t shown nothing for two straight seasons. Last season by mid to end he wasn’t even suiting up anymore

[@ElmerSchwartz-js2ws]

Booker did not "Dominate." His rush never really effected the QB. Every throw was on time and unhurried. He did not lift the OT. The LT had problems slipping on the turf the entire time, because of his shoes. Booker neither recorded a sack or caused a fumble. The fumble was caused by Byron Cowart and Booker tackled the QB long after the ball was already on the ground. He did time a few snaps at the exact right time and he does have good hand use. However, he is often the last one to react. Not saying he won't be great; but, it might be wise to curb expectations some.

[@charlesandrews2360]

I appreciate the breakdown because I don't follow closely. Not to be a Debbie Downer but my first question is who was he going up against? I understand that you are breaking down his football IQ and potential. I'm just curious if he went up against any Frontline players in this first game

[@the1magageneral323]

Booker is no Doug Atkins, Alex Brown or Dan Hampton, but he is showing himself a good rookie pass rusher.
