Chase Daniel Color Rush Jersey

BOURBONNAIS Chase Daniel Color Rush Jersey , Ill. (AP) — It has become a familiar refrain for Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy.Nagy has often repeated the words “nothing new” over the past 3½ weeks regarding contract talks with first-round draft pick Roquan Smith, and the situation remains status quo.Nagy’s first training camp with the Bears concluded Sunday, and it remains uncertain when defensive coordinator Vic Fangio can plug the former Georgia linebacker into the lineup.And that’s not the Bears’ only problem as they head into a week of practices in Denver before playing the Broncos on Saturday in their third preseason game.Asked Sunday if missing all of camp would limit Smith’s ability to be defensive field general on opening day, Nagy did not mince words.“I think it does,” Nagy said. “You’re playing at that position and there are a lot of calls that go on, very similar to a quarterback, there’s a lot going on. But I have full confidence in Vic and his staff that when he does get here, they’ll get him up to speed and whenever that is, we’ll see.“But again, that’s why we all get paid as coaches is to try to help our players out as much as possible and that’s kind of where we’re at.”Neither the Bears nor Smith’s agents have openly discussed the reason for the standoff.The Chicago Tribune reported that the sticking point in talks is the Bears’ refusal to give up the right to reclaim some of Smith’s guaranteed bonus if he is suspended for an on-field rules violation outside the parameters of a football play.Smith is the only unsigned player in the 2018 NFL draft class. The Bears haven’t had Smith around since their June minicamp.“I think he knows that he’s to be in shape Bennie Fowler III Jersey ,” Nagy said. “I think he knows that.”The Bears have two veteran inside linebackers on the field in Danny Trevathan and Nick Kwiatkoski, so they’re not short on experience.Players say they’ve avoided turning the holdout into a distraction.“It’s pretty easy,” defensive end Akiem Hicks said. “I mean, we can’t make him appear out of nowhere. You play with what you got and go forward.”Their other big problem revolves around the offense.Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky struggled in the new offense with interceptions in practice, then went 2 for 4 for 4 yards in his first effort against Cincinnati in a 30-27 loss Thursday night.“It’s not rocket science to know that we need to be better in that,” Nagy said. “It’s my job to make sure am I calling the right plays. It’s their job to make sure they execute when they get those plays to come in.”Wide receiver Allen Robinson and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel did not play Thursday or in the Hall of Fame game against the Ravens that kicked off the NFL’s preseason. Also absent was starting running back Jordan Howard.Robinson called camp a successful indoctrination to a complicated attack.“I think it was really big for us, for us to stay around close to each other, to have those conversations not only in the film room, but outside, just talking about different looks and seeing different things https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Taylor-Gabriel-Jersey ,” Robinson said. “I think it was very beneficial for us, as well as going against the defense.“We have a top-10 defense in this league and they give us a lot of different looks and they challenge us each and every day, presnap and post-snap.”The other issue the Bears are facing coming out of camp is that injuries have begun piling up.Cornerback Prince Amukamara is out with a groin injury and tight end Dion Sims is out with a concussion. Gabriel has a foot injury and has been out a week.Outside linebacker Aaron Lynch was counted on to be a starter after leaving San Francisco in free agency but hasn’t participated in a single practice due to a hamstring injury.“We’re not concerned,” Nagy said. “He’s OK with where he’s at. It has drawn out a little bit. There were a few setbacks there a little bit ago, but he’s back on track and he’ll be ready to go.” CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears showed they could dominate on defense, even with Khalil Mack out of the lineup.Then again, playing the Jets didn’t hurt.The Bears were ready without Mack, shutting down Sam Darnold and New York’s struggling offense in a 24-10 victory Sunday they sorely needed.“We played together,” linebacker Aaron Lynch said. “We played as one, we played aggressive and we had fun doing it. And we attacked the field every time we went out there.”There were no eye-popping statistics from any of the Bears’ players. Chicago (4-3) had just one sack and no interceptions.But the defense delivered a solid all-around effort Trey Burton Color Rush Jersey , helping the Bears win on a day when Mitchell Trubisky threw for two touchdowns and guard Kyle Long got helped off the field with a right foot injury.The Bears outgained New York 395 yards to 207 and held big advantages in rushing (179-57) and passing (216-15). The Jets didn’t even reach 100 yards in total offense until the fourth quarter, and by the time they finally got going, Chicago was putting this one away.“I don’t want to go back and forth about what any in particular guy does on this defense,” defensive end Akiem Hicks said. “I want to talk about our entire defense as a whole, and how dominant we have been and how dominant we will continue to be the rest of the year.”Here are some things to know after the Bears bounced back from consecutive losses and handed the Jets their second in a row:SELF-INFLICTEDWhile the Bears’ defense did its part, the Jets did plenty to stop themselves.They had false-start penalties on each of their first three drives. They also had one on their first possession of the third quarter, making it tougher to move the ball.“We shot ourselves in the foot on that,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said. “Especially when the crowd wasn’t that loud, those were just concentration things. It was pretty much a different guy each time.”RUNNING REVIVALJordan Howard has gone a career-long 10 straight games without a 100-yard rushing effort. But he showed signs of picking it up with 22 carries for 81 yards — his highest total since he had 82 in the opener against Green Bay.The 22 attempts were the second-most for him this season. And he set up his 2-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter with a 24-yard run, his longest of the year.DRIVE EXTENDERMitchell Trubisky’s scrambling continues to help keep the Bears moving Cody Parkey Jersey , even when the passing game has been inconsistent. He ran for four first downs and gained 51 yards on six rushes.“We needed to continue to find ways to stay on the field and sometimes it’s me pulling the ball down and making the play for the offense,” Trubisky said.In the previous game against New England, Trubisky ran for a career-high 81 yards.CATCHING ONJets rookie tight end Christopher Herndon now has touchdown catches in three straight games.He had a 16-yard scoring pass in the fourth quarter — his lone reception.A fourth-round pick from Miami, he has 12 catches for 161 yards.WITHOUT LONGThe Bears have some options if Long is out for a few games or the rest of the season.Veteran Eric Kush could take over for him at right guard, though he has been bothered the past few weeks with a neck injury that kept him out on Sunday. The Bears can also turn to newly acquired Bryan Witzmann, a guard/tackle who signed three weeks ago and has knowledge of the offense because he played in it for the Chiefs under Nagy.
