Not a bad assessment.

I'd say they were better as the season wore on so Probably a D+ to start the year, then ending at a B. Averages out to a C for the season as a whole.

But, to that point, I'd rather improve over the season and average a C than regress.

So positive on the DB's if we can get upgrade in a position or 2 in the off-season.

Good job Fisch. I think your assessment was spot on. The solid C is a good grade. I was pleasantly surprised by Amos, Callahan, and (especially) Jones-Quartey. After a rough early season I thought he flashed a little big play ability and a nose for the ball late in the year. I don't think he can be a starter, but in nickel and dime packages he could give the Bears some difference making plays. Amos and Callahan have the look of players that will be solid pros. Not spectacular but reliable system guys.

As we all know a good front 7 makes the secondary better. If the Bears can get a couple more impact guys up front then the back end of the defense, even with only the players on the roster now, can easily make the jump to a B or B+. Or perhaps be even better than that with the addition of 1 or 2 more quality players.

This is going to fun until you guys hit the LBs. Nice job again.

I think that was a solid assessment. I do think that they need an upgrade more at safety than at corner. Also, they need an upgrade at linebacker which would help the secondary do their jobs. The pass coverage for our lbs was shitty last year.

Good assessment but for having such awful MLBs and our DL not so great yet still finishing 4th best in the NFL I would push them to the B range. We need Berry!

Somehow the words "good" and "Bears secondary" have seemed to be contradictory terms. After the Packers game it was like the little train that could- "I think I can, I think I can" but really could only go up one hill.

Thanks for sharing.

You'd have to do the outside and inside linebackers separately or it just wouldn't tell the whole story.

Leave Shea alone.

Leave Shea alone.

You should have told the Bears that before they drafted him.

Does that include Jon Bostic and his Superbowl run?

I wouldnt even bother to do the ILBs. Just give it an F- and move on... no explanation needed, and no one would question it.

Great write up Fisch
